Popis:	Military personnel regularly wear body armour. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests pain or discomfort experienced whilst wearing body armour may, in part, be due to weaknesses in key stabilising and postural muscles of the upper body. This study seeks to investigate the association between pain symptoms and muscle weakness of the upper body.
