SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Provider Beliefs Regarding 
the Deadlift and their Effect on Patient Management; OMB Control Number 
0720-PBRD.
    Needs and Uses: The United States Army implemented the Army Combat 
Fitness Test (ACFT) as the fitness test of record in October 2020. The 
ACFT contains six events, including the maximum deadlift (MDL), which 
is a three-repetition maximum lift using a hex (or trap) style bar. 
Currently, there is a paucity of literature regarding healthcare 
provider beliefs and the deadlift exercise. Despite limited evidence of 
positive association for lumbopelvic injuries and deadlift, there are 
concerns about the deadlift being a part of the ACFT. Given the 
mandatory nature of the MDL as part of the U.S. Army's annual fitness 
requirement, it is imperative to understand the beliefs providers 
possess as patients are likely to seek them out following an episode of 
low back pain. Their beliefs may significantly influence treatment 
behaviors which could positively or negatively affect patient outcomes 
which may affect days on limited duty, deploy ability statistics, and/
or return to duty rates, all of which directly influence military 
readiness.
    The primary aim of the survey is to assess if provider beliefs 
regarding the deadlift exercise differ among various healthcare 
provider disciplines within the military healthcare system and assess 
if these differences are consistent with validated treatment 
orientations for lower back pain, and if differences in beliefs 
influence treatment behaviors for a patient presenting with a deadlift 
injury.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 125.
    Number of Respondents: 500.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 500.
    Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.

    Dated: July 16, 2025.
