Military Athletic Training Services

American Medical Association Military Athletic Training Services

Military recruits, typically between ages 17 – 24 sustain an alarming rate of injury. The U.S. Army reports that one of four male recruits and one of two female recruits are injured at least once, during Basic Combat Training. Experts agree that one of the most effective ways to prevent injuries is to provide proper training.

Soldiers commonly suffer from concussions while preparing for deployment or combat. In fact, 85% of concussions among military personnel happen during training. Strive American Medical Association Athletic Training gives soldiers the training they need.

Is an Athletic Trainer the Same as a Fitness Trainer at a Gym?

No. An athletic trainer is very different from a fitness trainer or personal trainer. Athletic trainers are health care professionals with degrees in athletic training. And 70% of athletic trainers have masters degrees in the field.

Athletic trainers assess environmental conditions, like excessive heat, that could become dangerous during physical activity. If injury does occur, athletic trainers are qualified to provide immediate assessment and treatment onsite. Taking into account individual circumstances, they’ll determine the best injury management protocol. They’re trained and ready to establish comprehensive rehabilitation. Athletic Training creates programs to:

Prevent injuries
Identify unsafe conditions
Provide emergency care immediately after injury occurs

Athletics trainers are associated with athletes. However, they work in various settings. They work in rehabilitation centers, helping patients recover from surgery. Strive AMA athletic trainers work at Department of Defense and government agencies. They teach soldiers and law enforcement to prevent on-the-job injuries.

Does the Military Use Athletic Trainers?

Yes. The military hires tactical athletic trainers with advanced skills to:

Provide injury-vulnerability assessments for recruits
Create military-specific conditioning and rehabilitation programs
