A study of an elite group of police officers – thought to be in top physical condition – showed seven predictors of back injuries and surprisingly, a high level of fitness was one.
Researchers from Canada have received the 2016 Liberty Mutual Award for their work assessing links between specific fitness and movement abilities of a group of elite task force police officers and subsequent back injuries.
Their scientific paper, “Can Fitness and Movement Quality Prevent Back Injury in Elite Task Force Police Officers? A 5-Year Longitudinal Study,” examined 53 elite police force members.
