Abstract
Introduction: Dismounted Soldiers routinely carry heavy loads over varied terrain for long durations. Changes in gait dynamics and physiologic workload occur during load carriage, however, the progression of these changes over prolonged efforts and their impact on physical task performance are not well understood. Understanding the time course of change in these variables can assist in the selection and design of strategies and technologies to avoid or mitigate the negative effects of prolonged load carriage on Dismounted Soldier performance. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the time-course of biomechanical, physiologic, and mobility performance changes associated with prolonged load carriage over natural terrain.
