12 Risks associated with Load Carriage When you get shot at, you move as fast as you can but it wasn t very fast. You are just tired. So tired. Justin Kalentis, US Army, wounded in Afghanistan, discussing the loads they were carrying quoted in The Seattle Times (14 Feb 11) Scientific Context in load weight = in the energy cost of standing, walking (forwards and backwards, up and down stairs) and running in speed of load carriage = in the energy cost of carrying given load (more than weight)? 0.5km/h= 10kg in gradient of load carriage = in the energy cost of carrying given load (more than weight)? 1%= 10kg 11
13 RISKS Risks associated with Load Carriage Injuries: Associated with a variety of injuries (from skin blistering to muscle, ligament, tendon, bone and nervous system injuries) Performance: in load weight = Marksmanship, Grenade throw ability, general task performance & attention to task Risks associated with LC ADF OHSCAR database was searched to identify all reported injuries sustained during load carriage over the period 01 January 2009 to 31 December 2010 Survey data was collected from units selected via purposive sampling 12
14 Risks associated with LC 338 survey respondents (34%) reported sustaining at least one injury More than one injury = 194 injury records Mean self-reported loads were 29.5 kg (SD=13.6 kg) or 35% BW (SD=12%) Risks Associated with LC Injuries 13
