Abstract

Introduction: Modernisation of the Australian Army has resulted in the increased use of mechanised units thereby infantry personnel are increasingly exposed to periods of military land transit and the associated whole-body vibration (WBV). However, the impact of these exposures on the dynamic tasks performed following dismount is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of WBV experienced during two hours of simulated Bushmaster Protected Mobility Vehicle (Bushmaster PMV) transit on lower limb explosive power.
