Evidence-based articles on military training, injury prevention, and rehabilitation — written by our team. Each piece is grounded in the same research base that shapes the PREP programmes, translated for soldiers, recruits, and anyone training toward service.
A deep dive into medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) — what it is, why it affects recruits so heavily during basic training, and the evidence-based approach to recovery and return to duty.
Prevention is far more achievable than most recruits realise. A practical guide to load management, cadence, footwear and the strength-building protocols that meaningfully reduce shin splint risk.
The dated approach to shin splints recovery — rest, ice, push through — is failing soldiers. Here is what the current evidence actually says about effective rehabilitation and how to apply it.
Reading is useful. Doing is essential. Two structured programmes available now — built on the same evidence base as the articles above.
