Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the occurrence and characteristics of training injuries of a naval special operations force from 2019 to 2020,to explore the characteristics and causes of the injuries after the new military training program implemented,and to put forward targeted suggestions to guide the unit to carry out scientific training and reduce the incidence of training injuries.
MethodsA questionnaire survey on military training injuries in the force for two consecutive years was performed. A general descriptive statistical analysis was conducted on the location,type,and prognosis of the injuries,injuries’ influences on training,the relationships between training injuries and training subjects,as well as the inducements of training injuries.
ResultsIn 2019 and 2020,the incidence of head and neck injuries increased in addition to the injuries of limbs. The main types of training injuries were chronic strain,strain,and sprain. In both years,there were some cases with poor prognosis and the proportion of reduced training intensity caused by training injuries increased accordingly. The injury risk subjects are mainly independent training subjects,equipment training,and the 400-meter military range training. The proportion of injury induced by training site and training technology decreased,and physical fitness inadequacy,excessive load,psychological fear,and so on turned into highly-possible inducements for causing injuries.
ConclusionsThe training injuries of a naval special force in 2019-2020 were generally similar to those after the implementation of the new military training program,but presented certain new characteristics. Therefore,the prevention and control of training injuries is still challenging,which should be timely adjusted according to the new characteristics of training injuries,such as scientifically formulating training methods,and adopting new means and new technology,thus strengthening the prevention and recovery of training injuries.
