Previous studies have looked at the return to sport in athletes, in… Read More
Research Paper Title Association Between Single Gene Polymorphisms and Bone Biomarkers and Response to Calcium and Vitamin D Supplementation in Young Adults Undergoing Military Training. Background Initial military training (IMT) is associated with increased stress fracture risk. Methods In prior studies, supplemental calcium (Ca) and vitamin D provided daily throughout IMT reduced stress fracture incidence,… Read More
Research Paper Title Dietary Intake and Stress Fractures among Elite Male Combat Recruits. Background Appropriate and sufficient dietary intake is one of the main requirements for maintaining fitness and health. Inadequate energy intake may have a negative impact on physical performance which may result in injuries among physically active populations. The purpose of this research… Read More
Research Paper Title Bone Turnover Markers do not Predict Stress Fracture in Elite Combat Recruits. Background With bone resorption rates greater than formation, stress fracture pathogenesis plausibly involves bone remodeling imbalance. If this is the case, one would anticipate serum levels of bone turnover markers would be higher in patients with stress fractures than in… Read More

Research Paper Title Stress Fractures in Royal Marine Recruits. Abstract Data are presented on stress fracture patterns at the Commando Training Centre Royal Marines (CTCRM). To reduce the high number of training injuries, including stress fractures, a complete review of the training syllabus was undertaken. Following recommendations from this review, a newly designed, physiologically progressive… Read More
Sport and Exercise Medicine Sport and exercise medicine (SEM) is a relatively new National Health Service (NHS) specialty that was set up in 2005 in response to the growing need to manage musculoskeletal and exercise-related injury and illness.
