Abstract

Helicopter crew is exposed to vibration and unergonomic working positions leading to musculoskeletal disorders. The impact of training programs on the physical performance and further, musculoskeletal disorders is not well known. The aim of the present study is to examine the effects of the self-guided and guided training periods on the physical performance of helicopter pilots and crew, and to further investigate the relationship between physical performance and spinal disorders.
