The aim of this study was to investigate whether occupational load carriage constitutes a significant source of injury to military soldiers. An online survey was sent to soldiers serving in specific Australian Army Corps known to experience the greatest occupational exposure to load carriage. Of the 338 respondents, 34% sustained at least one load carriage injury. Fifty-two per cent of those injured during initial training reported sustaining an additional load carriage injury. The majority of injuries (61%) were to the lower limbs with bones and joints the most frequently injured body structures (39%). Endurance marching (continuous marching as part of a physical training session) was the activity accounting for most (38%) injuries. Occupational load carriage is associated with military soldier injuries and, once injured, soldiers are at a high risk of future load carriage injury. The bodily sites and nature of self-reported injuries in this study are akin to those of formally reported injuries and those of other militaries.
本研究的目的是调查职业性负荷携带是否构成对军人的重大伤害源。向在已知职业性负荷携带暴露程度最高的特定澳大利亚陆军部队服役的士兵发送了一项在线调查。在338名受访者中，34%至少遭受过一次负荷携带伤害。在初始训练期间受伤的人中有52%报告又遭受了一次负荷携带伤害。大多数伤害（61%）发生在下肢，骨骼和关节是最常受伤的身体结构（39%）。耐力行军（作为体能训练一部分的持续行军）是造成大多数（38%）伤害的活动。职业性负荷携带与军人受伤有关，而且一旦受伤，士兵未来遭受负荷携带伤害的风险很高。本研究中自我报告的伤害的身体部位和性质与正式报告的伤害以及其他军队的伤害类似。
