Kessels, I. (author), Koopman, B. (author), Verdonschot, N. (author), Marra, M. (author), Gijsbertse, K. (author)The performance of military tasks is often exacerbated by additional load carriage, leading to increased physical demand. Previous studies showed that load carriage may lead to increased risk of developing musculoskeletal injuries, a reduction in task speed and mobility, and overall performance degradation. However, these studies were limited to...article 2021
