Neuromuscular strength and power predict musculoskeletal injury and attrition during marine corps recruit training/ Mita Lovalekar, Karen A. Keenan, Patrick Peterson, [et. al.] - 2024

Elevated rates of musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs) and attrition are documented in military recruit training. By identifying and addressing modifiable risk factors, the rate of successful training completion and military readiness can be enhanced. Despite their impact, the causes of MSIs and attrition among U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) recruits remain underexplored. This study investigates demographic, psychological, and physiological predictors of MSIs and attrition among USMC recruits.
