This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Prevention of Overuse Injuries by a Concurrent Exercise Program in Subjects Exposed to an Increase in Training Load: A Randomized Controlled Trial of 1020 Army Recruits
Am J Sports Med. 2008 Apr;36(4):663-70. Epub 2008 Mar 12.1020 soldiers undergoing 3 months of basic military training were randomized to undergo the prevention program consisting of exercises for strength, flexibility, and coordination, or the placebo program. A physical training program focused on muscular strengthening, coordination and flexibility, based on the intrinsic risk factors was identified by literature review. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the aforementioned program, when combined with an increase in physical activity, can reduce the incidence of overuse knee injuries and medial tibial stress syndrome. Results indicated that it did not impact the risk of developing overuse knee injuries or medial tibial stress syndrome in soldiers undergoing an increase in physical activity. The training program, however, increased maximal running distance in a 12-minute run test.
