Background Identification of risk factors for lower extremity (LE) injury in sport and
military/first-responder occupations is required to inform injury prevention strategies …

Background: There is growing evidence to support the use of low-load blood flow restriction
(LL-BFR) exercise in musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Purpose: The purpose of this study was …

Due to the unpredictable, varied and often physical nature of law enforcement duties, police
officers are at a high risk of work-related physical injury. The aim of this critical narrative …

Carrying heavy loads results in biomechanical changes to gait and to an increased risk of
injury in soldiers. The aim of this review is to examine the effects of military specific load …

Investigating the effects of load carriage on military soldiers using optical motion capture is
challenging. However, inertial measurement units (IMUs) provide a promising alternative …

Soldiers are often required to carry heavy loads that can exceed 45 kg. The physiological
costs and biomechanical responses to these loads, whilst varying with the contexts in which …
