Africa, a soldier assigned to the southern European Task Force, will be hand -pushing on February 18, 2025, in Bikenza, Italy, in the Army Combat Fitness Test. ACFT is an Rand Corp. announced on March 10 (Jamaries Casado/US Army) can reduce the overall injury over time.
Recent studies have shown that the latest fitness tests in the military can reduce the final injury, according to a recent study that soldiers are susceptible to hurt when they gain experience in the program.
Researchers at Rand Corp. have investigated data related to test management and found that the new is similar to the previous army fitness test or the risk of injuries.
The Army Battle Fitness Test, which began in 2022, is designed to better prepare the strict army of the battle. Another goal was to curb preventive injuries.
The report, which was released on Monday, said, “Since more than half of the soldiers have experienced new injuries, success in reducing the risk of injury can have a big impact on medical expenses and work losses.”
The current army fitness test is substantially different from the predecessor and is centered around six training events to better measure more physical abilities in a wider range of physical abilities, including muscle strength, agility, aerobic endurance and reaction time.
US soldiers perform deadlifts in the Army Combat Fitness Test in Semembach, Germany in December 2024. According to Rand Corp., which was announced on March 10, 2022, the fitness test of the service, which began in 2022, was published on March 10, 2025, and the final injury rate could be reduced.
The six events include Dead Lift, Standing PowerTus, Hand Release Push Up, Sprint Drag Carry, Parker and 2 miles.
The report said, “Learning how to train and receive new physical strengths should be expected to have some risk of injuries that can weaken over time.” “We have observed a decrease in the incidence of injuries related to soldiers who have experienced inspections.”
The study showed that soldiers who failed to inspect were more likely to be injured for the next 180 days.
Rand said that better performance on tests is related to the reduction of injury for 180 days.
Data is likely to increase the “overdue injury” before the test date because the soldiers may have strengthened their preparations. However, there is no change in the acute trauma damage that leads to the test.
The report said, “When an injury occurred for several days after the test date and test date, it is likely to be an injury related to the ACFT itself,” the report said.
According to the study, men and women have been injured in different types of injuries, women are likely to be injured in casualties, and men’s injuries tend to be in the upper limb.
When the time was realized, Rands recommended that the army would do better work in collecting injuries and to integrate physical fitness assessments into the injury monitoring program.
