Reducing Stress Fracture in Physically Active Military Women


Add your own review!

Overview

The incidence of stress fractures of the lower extremities during US military basic training is significantly higher among female military recruits than among male recruits. The prevalence of the injury has a marked impact on the health of service personnel and imposes a significant financial burden on the military by delaying completion of the training of new recruits. As part of the Defense Women's Health Research Program, this is an evaluation of the impact of diet, genetic predisposition, and physical activity on bone mineral and calcium in young servicewomen. It makes recommendations for reducing stress fractures and improving overall bone health through nutrition education and monitored physical training programmes. The book also makes recommendations for future research to evaluate more fully the effects of fitness levels, physical activities, and other factors on stress fracture risk and bone health.
