Abstract:[Objective] To explore the effect of functional training prescription on preventing military training injury in army recruits.[Methods] A total of 59 army recruits were included in the study, and randomly divided into two groups, including 24 men in the trial groupand 35 men in the control group. The trial group added 6-week functional training prescription in the routine training, while the controlgroup implemented the routine training program. The functional assessment tests and blood biochemical tests were performed before and af-ter the trial, and the differences between and within the groups were compared. [Results] A total of 8 soldiers were injured during the trial,including 1 in the trial group and 7 in the control group. After intervention, the proportion of functional movement screen (FMS) score ≤14in the trial group was significantly reduced from 82.6% to 8.7%, and the difference was significant compared with the control group (P<0.001). After intervention, many functional indexes were improved in both groups, among which the improvement of FMS, left and right Ybalancetest (YBT) and landing buffer was statistically significant (P<0.05). After intervention, all indexes of the trial group were better thanthose of the control group. Of them, the FMS score [(17.3±1.8) vs (3.6±1.9), P<0.001] and YBT score on the right side [(107.8±7.8) vs(103.5±8.0), P=0.048] proved significantly better in the trail group than those in the control group. In terms of blood tests, there were no sig-nificant changes in hemoglobin (HB) in both groups after intervention, while hematocrit (HCT) decreased slightly, which in control groupwere statistically significant (P<0.05). The changes of serum urea (BU), creatine kinase (CK), serum cortisol (SC) and blood testosterone(BT) in the trial groups were statistically significant (P<0.05), while BT change was no significant difference in the control group. However,BT/SC decreased in both groups, which was statistically significant in control group (P<0.05). [Conclusion] Local fatigue of lower limbs is the main cause of military training injuries in army recruits. Functional training prescriptions based on lower limb fascia release and func-tional strength training do effectively reduce the risk of training injury.
