Implication

Retrospective analysis reveals high rates of musculoskeletal injuries in cadets during initial military training, indicating significant risks for this population.

Key Points

The cumulative incidence rate of musculoskeletal injuries was 65.98 per 1,000 person-weeks during IMT from 2018 to 2023.
About 31.2% of all cadets sustained an MSKI, with females experiencing a 50% greater risk of injury than males.
Using retrospective data, incidence rates were assessed weekly to identify trends associated with musculoskeletal injury.
Given the high rate of musculoskeletal injuries, cadets should be prioritized for targeted injury prevention initiatives.
