Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Arkansas, 2008.

The purpose of this project was to identify the relationships between various fitness parameters such as: upper body muscular endurance, upper and lower body strength, flexibility, anaerobic power, abdominal strength, body composition and the performance on an "Ability Test" (AT) that includes a set of six simulated firefighting tasks. The relationships between each fitness parameter and each event of the AT were determined. In addition, the effect of types of gear on firefighting ability was determined. Ninety firefighters participated in this study (age 33.54 +/- 6.95 years). After the AT test the firefighters reported an average RPE of 14.93 +/- 1.48. The average lactic acid, 4-min after termination, was 12.98 +/- 2.36 mmol/l. The average Hr during the tasks was 182.63 +/- 8.78 bpm. The AT time was associated with abdominal strength, power, upper body muscular endurance (push-ups, sit-ups) and upper body strength (1-RM bench press). In addition, poor performance on the AT was associated with high RHR, high BMI, high BF%, increasing age and large waist size. Multiple regression analyses of the new five variable subset model indicated that a significant, proportion (60%) of the variation observed in the AT was explained by the variation of the fitness parameters used in the model. There were not a statistically significant differences among the three gear groups with respect to their overall Hr kinetics and lactic acid response. This study demonstrated that fitness variables such as abdominal strength, power (step test), pushups, resting Hr and BF%, contributed significantly to the predictive power of firefighters AT performance. In addition, the results of this study demonstrated that the three types of gear could affect the firefighters in the same way during simulated firefighting in ambient conditions.
