Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to find a statistically relevant reduction in the annual cumulative proportion (incidence proportion) of severe disability in 2022 compared to 2021.;It is expected to find a statistically relevant reduction in the annual rate (incidence density) of severe disability;;It is expected to find a statistically relevant reduction in temporal trend (change over time, this time being a period of one year) of severe disability in the sample composed of cadets from the Naval School. Severe disability will be measured through the Navy's Regular Board of Health system. This system regulates military personnel who have been on leave for more than 30 days and the military is now accompanied by a medical board with assessments and opinions of specialists in the condition and medical experts. The military remains in treatment until this medical board understands that the military is already fit for active military service without restrictions and leaves the regulation of this system. In this way, the above-described metrics of the regulation of the system by complaints related to physical activity will be verified.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to find a statistically relevant reduction in the annual cumulative proportion (incidence proportion) of total musculoskeletal complaints ; ;It is expected to find a statistically relevant reduction in the annual rate (incidence density) of total musculoskeletal complaints; ;It is expected to find a statistically relevant reduction in the temporal trend (change over time, this time being the period of one year) of total musculoskeletal complaints (i.e., not just the severe ones according to the Regular System of Health of the Navy) related to physical activity. These complaints will be collected from medical records and the 4 questions of the OSTRC-BR questionnaire included in the Naval academy's injury monitoring system;
