The purpose of this study was to evaluate the negative influence of excessive exercise on immunity, substance and energy metabolism as well as gut microbiota in mice. Firstly, an overtraining model of Male Kunming mice was established by high-intensity swimming exercise for 4 weeks. Then, a series of evaluation indicators, including the routine blood analysis, immune organ coefficient, digestive enzymes, and aquaporins expression levels of small intestine and colon tissue, histological examinations of liver, spleen, small intestine, and colon, were determined based on this model. Furthermore, 16S rRNA gene sequencing was also employed to measure the microbial composition in gut. The results found that immune parameters, substance and energy metabolism of all mice was altered and disturbed after high-intensity swimming for 4 weeks, led to an atrophy of thymus and spleen as well as abnormal structural changes in liver when compared to non-swimming mice. Besides, excessive swimming mice had lower microbial diversity compared to non-swimming mice. However, there was no significant difference in gut microbial taxa between the two groups. The data indicated that excessive exercise exhibits negative impacts on immunity, substance and energy metabolism as well as gut microbial diversity.

“…We observed higher LBP prevalence among respondents with a history of LBP and among those with a history of accidents. Previous studies have reported similar findings and concluded that LBP history is one of the strongest risk factors for developing recurrent LBP in the future [12,14]. Stanton et al [19] reported that 25 to 62 percent of LBP patients experienced recurrent LBP within one to two years' time-frame.…”

Study aim: The aims of this study were to examine the prevalence of low back pain (LBP) and explore possible factors associated with LBP among Malaysian army personnel deployed in Klang Valley in the year 2018. Material and methods: A self-administered questionnaire on sociodemographic data, occupational background, occupational exposure and LBP evaluation was used in this study. A total of 330 respondents participated in this study and 321 (97%) of them completed and returned the questionnaires. Results: One hundred and fifty-seven respondents complained of LBP, giving a prevalence of 48.9%. LBP was found to be associated with smoking status, history of LBP, history of accident, military rank, category of regiment, lifting weights, pushing weights, pulling weights and job-related physical activity. Logistic regression analysis identified four associated risk factors of LBP: history of accident (OR = 4.42, 95% 2.29-8.55), history of LBP (OR=1.92, 95% 1.11-3.31), combat regiment (OR = 1.97, 95% 1.14-3.42) and high job-related physical activity (OR = 2.35, 95% 1.31-4.20). Conclusion: Almost half of Malaysian army personnel stationed in Klang Valley reported LBP symptoms. Smoking status, history of LBP, history of accident, junior non-commissioned officers (NCOs), combat regiments, manual handling of objects and moderate/high job-related physical activity are associated with LBP, but there is no evidence of a temporal relationship in the current study. Further exploration with a longitudinal study is needed to identify a cause and effect relationship between occupational exposure and LBP among Malaysian army personnel.

“…Higher risk for injury has been most consistently demonstrated among Soldiers with lower aerobic fitness levels, cigarette smokers, and those with lower levels of physical activity prior to Army basic combat training (Knapik et al, 2006). The severity of injuries and their impact on military operations are well documented and can be reviewed elsewhere (Marshall et al 2014;Zambraski and Yancosek 2012;Roy et al 2014). …”

SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES 14. Abstract The Army Public Health Center-Provisional (APHC (Prov)) Injury Prevention Program (IPP), in support of the public health approach to prevention, develops and distributes communication products to stakeholders (e.g., Soldiers, medical providers) in order to educate them on leading injury causes, risk factors, and evidence-based risk-reduction strategies. Purpose: To apply a strategic communication framework, known as the P Process, to guide the development of the APHC (Prov) IPP's communication strategy targeting Army personnel. Methods: An adaptation of the P Process Step One (Analysis) was used to determine "gaps" in APHC (Prov) injury and physical activity-related communication product development. A list of injury and physical activity-related communication products was collected from the APHC (Prov) Resource Materials Library, APHC (Prov) Health Information Products e-Catalog, APHC (Prov) YouTube channel, and the Defense Video and Imagery Distribution System. Product topics were then compared to the Army's injury prevention priorities and a previously-conducted Injury Prevention Survey of Army personnel communication needs and preferences. Product types and audiences were also analyzed according to the Injury Prevention Survey results. Results: Over two thousand (n=2,233) existing health communication products were identified in searches of four sources. Of the 2,233 products identified, one hundred forty-seven (6.6%) were related to injury, injury prevention, and/or physical activity. Of these, sixtyseven (45.6%) of existing injury/physical activity-related materials matched a topic consistent with previously-identified communication ne...
