Objective To analyze the current situation of prevention and control of military training injuries in a plateau army, and propose protective and therapeutic measures from the perspective of sport rehabilitation. Methods A total of 248 grassroots officers and soldiers from a unit stationed in a plateau were enrolled as the research subjects. Then our self-made questionnaire, Questionnaire on the Prevention and Treatment of Training Injuries among Special Populations in the Plateau, which was developed based on Manual on the Prevention and Treatment of Military Training Injuries, was used to conduct a survey. The results were analyzed with logistic regression analysis. Results Univariate analysis showed that time of military service (P=0.002), age (P=0.021), and frequency of training (P=0.032) were risk factors, while learning on preventing and controlling military training injuries (P=0.047) was protective factor for training injuries. Multivariate analysis indicated that time of military service (P=0.002) and frequency of training (P=0.035) were risk factors, and learning on prevention and control knowledge (P=0.035) was protective factor for training injuries. Among them, 133 (53.6%) experienced military training injuries, and 83(46.6%) were mainly treated with medication after injury. Physical training was the training subject that led to the most training injuries, accounting for 51.1% (68 participants), closed soft tissue injury was the most common type (73 participants, 54.9%); injury degree was mainly mild (87 participants, 65.4%). The injury site was mostly in the lumbar region, with a total of 78participants (27%). Conclusion The incidence of military training injuries in a plateau army is significantly higher than other findings, with mild closed soft tissue injuries and lumbar region most common. The risk factors for training injuries are time of military service, age and training frequency, and participation in military training injury prevention and control study is conducive to reducing the occurrence of training injuries.
