Abstract：Objective To understand the current status of physical training and the incidence of training-related injuries among military personnel stationed in high-altitude regions,so as to provide data support for establishing standardized and unified comprehensive prevention and treatment protocols for training-related injuries specific to military personnel stationed in high-altitude environments.Methods By means of questionnaire surveys,face-to-face interviews,and on-site investigations,eight high-altitude military training units were investigated and studied.The research encompassed eight aspects,including basic information,routine physical and military training conditions,current physical health status,allocation of physical training equipment,levels of physical activity and sleep quality,incidence of musculoskeletal injuries,prevalence of pain in the neck,shoulder,waist,and legs,as well as diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries.A comparative analysis of the collected data was conducted to draw meaningful insights.Results The survey results revealed a substantial occurrence of military training-related injuries,including 1 056 cases among 414 people.These injuries affected up to 11 different body regions,with a notable prevalence of injuries to the foot and ankle,as well as the knee.Additionally,there was a significant incidence of discomfort reported in the neck and waist areas.Conclusion The incidence of training-related injuries among military personnel stationed in high-altitude regions is notably elevated,so the training programs for military personnel in these areas should be systematically implemented under scientifically-informed guidance.Additionally,there should be an emphasis on health education aimed at preventing training-related injuries.These measures are essential for comprehensively enhancing the combat effectiveness of military forces stationed in high-altitude environments.
