Objective To understand the features of military training-related injuries that occurred among naval officers and related risk factors, so as to provide effective prevention and treatment measures against military training-related injuries.Methods Four hundred and thirty-eight officers were recruited and a face-to-face questionnaire survey was made for the study.The subjects were divided into 2 groups ( the injury group and the non-injury group) by depending on whether or not they had training-related injury. Then, differences in the general conditions, the awareness of prevention against training-related injury, attitude and treatment behavior were analyzed between the 2 groups.Results In the naval unit undergoing military training, personnel with the an age range between 25 and 34 had the highest rate of training-related injury(56.3%), and there was statistical significance in the composition of the age between the injury group and the non-injury group (P<0.01).75.57%of the naval officers thought that training-related injury was re-lated with technical manipulations, and 81.96% of them knew emergency treatment methods when injuries occurred.The number of people who failed to do warming-up activities and those who persisted in training when signs of discomfort or fatigue-induced injury oc-curred for the injury group was significantly higher than that of the non-injury group (P<0.05).Conclusion In military training, the occurrence of injury was closely related with insufficient warming-up activities and irregular manipulations, and at the same time, insuffi-cient knowledge about the prevention of training-related injury and improper behavior were also important factors for training-related injury.
