Use of a modified load carriage predictive equation to identify specialist police candidates at greater risk of injury and selection failure

Year: 2020

Type: conference-abstract

Abstract: Tactical personnel are required to carry external loads as part of their everyday occupation. This load carriage can come with increased risk of injury or degradation of individual performance. To ensure these risks are minimized tactical personnel are routinely required to meet strict aerobic and anaerobic requirements. The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive relationship between a variety of fitness parameters and load carriage performance utilizing a modified predictive equation.
