Optimal physical fitness is essential for military personnel to effectively meet their rigorous physical demands. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a suspension training program on physical fitness, biomechanical risk factors for lower extremity injury, mental health, and work-related factors in Navy personnel. A total of 50 young men participated in a randomized controlled trial. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups (n = 25): the intervention group and the control group. The intervention group performed an eight-week suspension training session three times per week, while the control group maintained their daily duties. The primary outcome was physical performance. The secondary outcomes were determined biomechanical risk factors for lower extremity injuries, mental health, and work-related factors. The data were analyzed using the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Compared with the control group, the intervention group showed significant improvements in physical performance, biomechanical risk for lower extremity injuries, and work-related factors from baseline to follow-up (p ≤ 0.05). However, there was no improvement in mental health. Based on these findings, suspension training positively impacted physical fitness, reduced injury risk, and enhanced the work-related factors of Navy personnel. This study provides new insights for various related experts and military coaches because it is an easy-to-use and feasible method with minimal facilities.
最佳体能对于军人有效应对严格的体能要求至关重要。本研究旨在探讨悬挂训练方案对海军人员体能、下肢损伤生物力学风险因素、心理健康和与工作相关因素的影响。共有 50 名年轻男性参与了一项随机对照试验。参与者被随机分为两组(n=25):干预组和对照组。干预组每周进行三次为期八周的悬挂训练,而对照组则维持日常工作。主要结果是身体表现。次要结果是确定下肢损伤的生物力学风险因素、心理健康和与工作相关的因素。数据分析采用协方差分析(ANCOVA)。与对照组相比,干预组在身体表现、下肢损伤生物力学风险因素和工作相关因素方面从基线到随访均有显著改善(p≤0.05)。然而,心理健康没有改善。基于这些发现,悬挂训练对海军人员的体能、降低损伤风险和增强与工作相关的因素有积极影响。这项研究为不同的相关专家和军事教练提供了新的见解,因为它是一种易于使用且可行的方法,所需设施最少。
