Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The primary outcome measures are:
1) the Dropout rate and the significance of the Chi square and Fisher exact
are determined
2) the Hazard ratio. The incidence density for injuries of the intervention
and the controlgroup are analyzed .
Secondary outcome
A Kaplan-Meijer survival curve will be determined for the intervention group
and control group.
The log-rank tests will be used to determine the significant differences
between the survival curves of the intervention and control group.
Additional outcome measures
The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) score will be determined. The score
distribution will be determined. The difference in mean scores between the
intervention and control group will be tested, with the T test (independent
samples).
Change of the FMS score for the intervention and control group will be
determined using the T-test (dependent samples)
Background summary
Basic Military training of the Dutch Marine Corps is compromised by a high
inidence of musculoskeletal injury. This heavy military training is known to
have a dropout rate of 50%. Core stability training may have a preventive
effect on the incidence of musculosketale injury.
With this RCT we want to assess if core stability training can reduce the
injury-rate en dropout-rate in basic military training of the Dutch Marine
Corps. To our knowledge no former trails have been executed to assess the
effects of core stability training in this population.
Our hypothesis is that core stability training will reduce the injury-rate and
the dropout-rate.
With this research we aim to develop evidence based preventive strategies .
Study objective
Our primary objective is to assess the preventive effects of core stability
training in reduction of the incidence density for injury and dropout rate in
the Basic Dutch Marine Corps Training 15/2 , 16/1 and 16/2.
We want to establish the preventive effects of core stability training in this
military population
Study design
Randomized Clinical trial
Intervention
The intervention consists of core stability training twice a week for 60
minutes during 23 weeks.
Training sessions can be canceled for operational and field training
priorities. The control group participates in the regular military training.
There will be no placebo training applied.
Study burden and risks
The intervention is considered to be a normal professional treatment, usual
care.
There are minimal to no risks. The intervention group takes weekly two hours
of extra training during 23 weeks.
In addition, both groups undergo the tests of the Functional Movement Screen.
This means an additional time spend for all participants of three hours, for
the baseline test, the intermediate and end measurement.
