Research often examines these populations together, but no direct comparison of physical fitness, injuries, and reproductive health within these groups has been done. The authors examined physical fitness relationships among injury history, occupation (i.e., military and non-military [NM] arduous occupations; i.e., police, firefighting, paramedic, health care), and whether an individual had carried a pregnancy to 20 weeks. The study found that the military group had more back, hip, foot, and lumbopelvic hip complex injuries, but the NM group had more thumb injuries. NM participants did better on several physical fitness tests, and those with a history of acute injury had better lower body strength than military participants with acute injury. NM participants with a history of acute injury who had never given birth had better relative lower body strength than those who had given birth; the opposite was seen in the military group. These findings suggest that initiatives and research supporting females employed in arduous occupations should consider differentiating between military and NM. Moreover, injury and a history of childbirth are important historical complexities that should be included when examining physical fitness outcomes in these populations. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3138\/jmvfh-2024-0055","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,2]],"date-time":"2025-06-02T16:22:03Z","timestamp":1748881323000},"page":"69-81","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Unmasking the divide: Musculoskeletal injury and physical fitness disparities among military and emergency responders"],"prefix":"10.3138","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9803-5014","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chris M.","family":"Edwards","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Rehabilitation, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Sherbrooke, Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jessica L.","family":"Puranda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Human Kinetics, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u00c9milie","family":"Miller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Human Kinetics, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Danilo","family":"Fernandes da Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sports Studies Department, Faculty of Arts and Science, Bishop\u2019s University, Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kevin","family":"Semeniuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Human Kinetics, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kristi B.","family":"Adamo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Human Kinetics, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1696","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"r1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.22929","volume":"62","author":"Lentz L","year":"2019","journal-title":"Am J Ind Med"},{"key":"r2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"861762","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2022.861762","volume":"10","author":"Pawer S","year":"2022","journal-title":"Front Pub Health"},{"issue":"1","key":"r3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"920","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2458-11-920","volume":"11","author":"Knapik JJ","year":"2011","journal-title":"BMC Public Health"},{"issue":"11","key":"r4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e610","DOI":"10.1093\/milmed\/usx238","volume":"183","author":"Schwartz O","year":"2018","journal-title":"Mil Med"},{"issue":"5","key":"r5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"389","DOI":"10.1093\/occmed\/kqq052","volume":"60","author":"Ngan K","year":"2010","journal-title":"Occup Med"},{"volume-title":"Health care sector injury statistics","year":"2017","author":"Government of Ontario","key":"r6"},{"issue":"9","key":"r7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e903","DOI":"10.1093\/milmed\/usaa555","volume":"186","author":"Barbeau P","year":"2021","journal-title":"Mil Med"},{"key":"r8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3138\/jmvfh.2018-0008"},{"issue":"1","key":"r9","first-page":"1","volume":"8","author":"Sammito S","year":"2021","journal-title":"Mil Med Res"},{"issue":"11","key":"r10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"841","DOI":"10.1139\/apnm-2023-0028","volume":"48","author":"Edwards CM","year":"2023","journal-title":"Appl Physiol Nutr Metab"},{"volume-title":"The likelihood and timing of mothers returning to work after parental leave","year":"2023","author":"Choi Y.","key":"r11"},{"issue":"1","key":"r12","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"14","DOI":"10.1249\/JES.0000000000000274","volume":"50","author":"Jackson T","year":"2022","journal-title":"Exerc Sport Sci Rev"},{"issue":"1","key":"r13","first-page":"239","volume":"37","author":"Sinnott AM","year":"2023","journal-title":"J Strength Cond Res"},{"volume-title":"Canadian Armed Forces Health Survey (CAFHS)","year":"2019","author":"Statistics Canada","key":"r14"},{"issue":"1","key":"r15","first-page":"393","volume":"5","author":"Edwards CM","year":"2024","journal-title":"Womens Health Rep"},{"key":"r16","unstructured":"Edwards C.
