Relationship between training load and law enforcement recruit injuries during academy training

Discussion: The aim of this research was to assess the relationship between training load variables and injury risk in a law enforcement recruit population. Recruits in this population typically engage in a ‘one size fits no-one’ training program that is centred around body weight exercises and long-distance running. [...]including more physical training around muscular strength and power could improve fitness components that are vital to law enforcement while decreasing the distance run and potentially mitigating injury risk.
