Specific injuries account for the majority of this difference. Military training, work, and recreation are more likely to be the cause of injury in the female soldier. Conditions existing prior to military service were also more common. There was no gender difference in the injuries caused by sport or road traffic accidents. These results may act as a basis for targeted intervention in order to reduce inequality without reducing overall training standards.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/jramc-148-03-06","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,3,19]],"date-time":"2013-03-19T19:44:55Z","timestamp":1363722295000},"page":"256-258","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Musculoskeletal Injuries In Female Soldiers: Analysis Of Cause And Type Of Injury"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"148","author":[{"given":"N F","family":"Strowbridge","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Reception Station, Ypres Road, Colchester, Essex, CO2 7NL nstrow@aol.com"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2002,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"263","article-title":"Sports and Training Injuries in British Soldiers: The Colchester Garrison Sports Injury and Rehabilitation Centre","volume":"148","author":"Strowbridge, N.F.; Burgess, K.R.","year":"2002","unstructured":"Strowbridge NF, Burgess KR.
