Summary

Regular and optimal fitness training has a positive effect on reducing risk or injury in addition to enhancing psychophysical and combat skills. On the other hand, excessive fitness training is one of the risk factors for injuries in soldiers. For this reason, it is necessary to establish a new system of the training process and regular monitoring of physical and combat readiness of the SAF with the help of scientific and professional methodology. The proposed research project will run for two years. The main goal of the project is to enhance physical and combat readiness and determine the epidemiology of injuries of members of the Slovenian Armed Forces (SAF). Within this aim, we will also run a validation study aimed to improve existing testing batteries for armed forces.
