Bra-body armour integration, breast discomfort and breast injury associated with wearing body armour

open access: yesErgonomics, 2021
This study investigated whether female soldiers experience bra integration or breast discomfort/injuries related to body armour use and whether these issues were associated with breast size. Ninety-seven Australian Defence Force female soldiers completed a questionnaire and had their breast volume assessed (range: 91-919 ml/breast) using three ...

Impact of police body armour and equipment on mobility

open access: yesApplied Ergonomics, 2013
Body armour is used widely by law enforcement and other agencies but has received mixed reviews. This study examined the influence of stab resistant body armour (SRBA) and mandated accessories on physiological responses to, and the performance of, simulated mobility tasks. Fifty-two males (37 ± 9.2 yr, 180.7 ± 6.1 cm, 90.2 ± 11.6 kg, VO2max 50 ± 8.5 ml

Are female soldiers satisfied with the fit and function of body armour?

open access: yesApplied Ergonomics, 2020
Design and development of contemporary military body armour has traditionally focused primarily on male soldiers. As the anthropometric body dimensions of male and female soldiers differ, we aimed to determine whether current body armour was meeting fit ...

Can smaller body armour improve thoracolumbar range of motion and reduce interference when female soldiers perform dynamic tasks?

open access: yesApplied Ergonomics, 2022
Most female soldiers report that in-service body armour systems are too large. We investigated whether a smaller prototype body armour system could improve thoracolumbar range of motion (ROM) and reduce interference when female soldiers performed dynamic
