Description
Summary:	An abstract of a study by Dartt et al describing knowledge, attitudes and beliefs (KABs) regarding injury and preventing injury in US Marines entering training at the School of Infantry- West is presented. Marines entering School of Infantry- West (SOI-W) appear to be willing to participate in IP training and report being confident they know appropriate exercises and training methods to prevent lower extremity injury (LEI). A large majority remain neutral about LEIs being unavoidable, which indicates their potential receptiveness to IP training during SOI-W. Based on these findings, we plan to develop a targeted IP curriculum to implement at SOI-W, with consideration of participants' KABs toward LEI and IP.
