Video games are once again under attack.
For theAmerican army, the new candidates who intend to be part of one of the most powerful armies in the world, have weak and brittle bones. Through a military press release, the armed forces shared their unique views on new generations of recruits.
According to what is shared by the military, the Generation Z could be at risk of more injuries in boot camp. According to a U.S. Army major, young Americans live sedentary lives that make them frail, prone to injury, and have a more difficult transition from civilian life to the military.
The paper, titled “Why Today’s ‘Generation Z’ is at Risk of Training Camp Injury,” features the Army Major Jon-Marc Thibodeau, who also serves as the clinical coordinator responsible for medical education at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri. For the seasoned military, things are clear. “The skeleton of the ‘Nintendo Generation’ soldier is not hardened by activity prior to arrival, so some of them break more easily“.
Something similar thinks the captain and assistant director of physical therapy at Leonard Wood Army Community Hospital, Lydia Blondin. For her, the kind of injuries she saw in the so-called “Nintendo Generation” confirm what was reported. “We see injuries ranging from acute fractures and falls, to anterior cruciate ligament injuries, muscle strains and stress fractures“, he has declared.
