The U.S Army’s Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) System and the Role Athletic Trainers Play
This session does not offer CEUs.
The Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) System is the Army’s primary investment in Soldier readiness and lethality, optimal physical and non-physical performance, reduced injury rates, improved rehabilitation after injury, and increased overall effectiveness of the Total Army. The system empowers and equips Soldiers to take charge of their health, fitness, and well-being in order to optimize individual performance, while reducing the risks of injury and disease. 52% of active-duty Soldiers sustain a musculoskeletal injury (MSKI) each year. As experts in managing MSKI, athletic trainers play a significant role in accomplishing H2F’s objective of reducing injury rates. Their ability to work as health care providers and as human performance specialists allows them to be strategically placed to ensure Soldiers receive the continuity of care essential to optimal performance and completion of duties.
This presentation will be discussing the current state of the H2F System and how athletic trainers are a critical component of the interdisciplinary team that serves the Soldiers of the U.S. Army.
