Protocolo interdisciplinar de prevenção de fratura por estresse na formação militar: experiência e resultados da Escola de Especialistas de Aeronáutica

Musculoskeletal injuries represent a persistent challenge in military training, directly impacting training continuity and operational readiness. The School of Aeronautics Specialists developed and implemented an interdisciplinary injury prevention protocol, with an emphasis on stress fractures, based on the integration of the Physical Education, Health, and Military Doctrine sectors. This article describes the design, execution, and results of this protocol, which led to a significant reduction in the incidence of musculoskeletal injuries among students in the Sergeant Training Course. The findings indicate that integrated management of external load, monitoring of running technique (with an emphasis on correcting overstriding), and progressive physiological adaptation were crucial to the intervention's success.
