Impact of physical fitness and body composition on injury risk among active young adults: A study of Army trainees.

Objectives: To determine the combined effects of physical fitness and body composition on risk of training-related musculoskeletal injuries among Army trainees.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Methods: Rosters of soldiers entering Army basic combat training (BCT) from 2010 to 2012 were linked with data from multiple sources for age, sex, physical fitness (heights, weights (mass), body mass index (BMI), 2 mile run times, push-ups), and medical injury diagnoses.
