Estimates of Tibial Shock Magnitude in Men and Women at the Start and End of a Military Drill Training Program.

Conclusions: This study provides the first estimates of tibial shock magnitude during military drill training in the field. The high values suggest that military drill is a demanding activity and this should be considered when developing and evaluating military training programs. Further exploration is required to understand the response of the lower limb to military drill training and the etiology of these responses in the development of lower limb stress fractures.
