Abstract

During 1995 the incidence of training related injuries to cadets at RMAS increased markedly. This paper quantifies the numbers placed on the Y List and removed from training, and those medically discharged. The main identified causes were drill, weight carriage, endurance training and lack of sleep. The training programme was modified including alterations in footwear, length and timing of physical periods and a reduction in weight carriage. Following these changes there was a highly significant fall in Y Listing from January 1996 and subsequent medical discharge.
