Strength and Conditioning for British Soldiers

With Advances in Strength and Conditioning, a Review of Physical Training Within the British Army Would Be Beneficial. Military Personnel Experience High Injury Rates and Medical Attrition, Affecting Military Capability. This May Be Due to Inappropriate Progression of Exercise Intensity and Volume, Leading to Overuse Injuries. To Mitigate This, We Advise a Reduced Running Volume and Greater Emphasis on Interval Training, Along With More Strength and Power Training in Line With the Demands of a Modern Military and the Various Vocational Tasks Performed by Soldiers. For Ecological Validity and Practical Considerations, Recommendations Are Based on Large Group Training and Minimal Resources.
