dc.description.abstract | Firefighting is a hazardous occupation, where firefighters are involved in life-threatening situations, being placed under tremendous physical strain, while wearing heavy and insulated equipment to protect them from chemicals, fumes and high temperatures. This necessitates that firefighter stay in good physical condition and maintain adequate cardiovascular fitness to cope with these stressors and perform their duties with minimal health risks. The aim of this systematic review and metaanalysis is to determine the effect of cardiovascular health, musculoskeletal health and physical fitness on the occupational performance of firefighters. | en_US |
