OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to assess sensitivity and specificity of surrogate physical ability tests as predictors of criterion firefighting task performance and to identify corresponding minimum muscular strength and endurance standards.
METHODS
Fifty-one (26 male; 25 female) participants completed three criterion tasks (ladder lift, ladder lower, ladder extension) and three corresponding surrogate tests [one-repetition maximum (1RM) seated shoulder press; 1RM seated rope pull-down; repeated 28 kg seated rope pull-down]. Surrogate test standards were calculated that best identified individuals who passed (sensitivity; true positives) and failed (specificity; true negatives) criterion tasks.
RESULTS
Best sensitivity/specificity achieved were 1.00/1.00 for a 35 kg seated shoulder press, 0.79/0.92 for a 60 kg rope pull-down, and 0.83/0.93 for 23 repetitions of the 28 kg rope pull-down.
CONCLUSIONS
These standards represent performance on surrogate tests commensurate with minimum acceptable performance of essential strength-based occupational tasks in UK firefighters.
目的
本研究旨在评估替代体能测试作为消防员标准任务表现预测指标的敏感性和特异性，并确定相应的最低肌肉力量和耐力标准。
方法
51名参与者（26名男性；25名女性）完成了三项标准任务（举梯、放梯、伸梯）以及三项相应的替代测试[坐姿推举一次最大重复量（1RM）；坐姿绳索下拉1RM；28千克坐姿绳索下拉重复28次]。计算出能最佳识别通过（敏感性；真阳性）和未通过（特异性；真阴性）标准任务的个体的替代测试标准。
结果
35千克坐姿推举的最佳敏感性/特异性为1.00/1.00，60千克绳索下拉的最佳敏感性/特异性为0.79/0.92，28千克绳索下拉23次的最佳敏感性/特异性为0.83/0.93。
结论
这些标准代表了替代测试中的表现，与英国消防员基于力量的基本职业任务的最低可接受表现相当。
