Journal ArticleDOI
Intrinsic risk factors for exercise-related injuries among male and female army trainees
TL;DR: It is concluded that female gender and low aerobic fitness measured by run times are risk factors for training injuries in army trainees, and that other factors such as prior activity levels and stature may affect men and women differently.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of Injuries Associated With Physical Training Among Young Men in the Army
Bruce H. Jones,David N. Cowan,J. P. Tomlinson,John R. Robinson,David W. Polly,Peter N. Frykman +5 more
TL;DR: A number of risk factors were identified, including older age, smoking, previous injury (sprained ankles), low levels of previous occupational and physical activity, low frequency of running before entry into the Army, flexibility (both high and low), low physical fitness on entry, and unit training (high running mileage).
Journal ArticleDOI
Hemangiopericytoma of the central nervous system: a review of 94 cases.

TL;DR: Postoperative radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy were significantly associated with increased patient survival time and the tumor was found throughout the entire CNS, usually superficially and closely related to the meninges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Foot morphologic characteristics and risk of exercise-related injury.
TL;DR: The hypothesis that low-arched individuals are at increased risk of injury does not support the hypothesis, and it may be possible to prevent substantial morbidity among active populations by identifying individuals at high risk and advising alternate activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exercise, training and injuries
TL;DR: It is suggested that, for activities such as running, specific parameters of exercise may contribute to the overall risk of injuries in rough proportion to their contribution to the total amount of activity performed.
