Field Tests for Evaluating the Aerobic Work Capacity of Firefighters
Working as a firefighter is physically strenuous, and a high level of physical fitness increases a firefighter's ability to cope with the physical stress of their profession. Direct measurements of aerobic capacity, however, are often complicated, time consuming, and expensive. The first aim of the present study was to evaluate the correlations between direct (laboratory) and indirect (field) a...
متن کاملLaboratory or Field Tests for Evaluating Firefighters' Work Capacity?
Muscle strength is important for firefighters work capacity. Laboratory tests used for measurements of muscle strength, however, are complicated, expensive and time consuming. The aims of the present study were to investigate correlations between physical capacity within commonly occurring and physically demanding firefighting work tasks and both laboratory and field tests in full time (N = 8) ...
متن کاملMultivariate Statistical Assessment of Predictors of Firefighters’ Muscular and Aerobic Work Capacity
Physical capacity has previously been deemed important for firefighters physical work capacity, and aerobic fitness, muscular strength, and muscular endurance are the most frequently investigated parameters of importance. Traditionally, bivariate and multivariate linear regression statistics have been used to study relationships between physical capacities and work capacities among firefighters...

15 صفحه اولEvaluation of a treadmill test for predicting the aerobic capacity of firefighters.
BACKGROUND As part of a comprehensive occupational medical program for fire departments in the USA, the National Fire Protection Association and The Fire Service Joint Labor Management Wellness/Fitness Initiative endorse a standardized submaximal test that uses the Gerkin treadmill protocol for predicting the maximal oxygen uptake (VO(2max)) of firefighters. AIMS To test the validity of the G...
