Sex-specific differences in fit between two different types of body armour: A pilot study [PDF]
NBP: Nauka, bezbednost, policijaIntroduction. Body armour, whilst improving wearer survivability, can negatively impact physical performance and increase injury risk. These impacts may differ between male and female personnel due to the generic design of armour systems. The aim of this

Is behind armour blunt trauma a real threat to users of body armour? A systematic review [PDF]
Journal of the Royal Army Medical Corps, 2013 Introduction Behind armour blunt trauma (BABT) has been defined as a non-penetrating injury caused by the rapid deformation of body armour. There has been an increasing awareness of BABT as an injury mechanism in both the military and civilian worlds; whether BABT results in serious injuries is debatable.
