The objective of this study was to examine the predictive value of the Triple Hop for Distance (THD) physical performance test to assess lower extremity (LE) strength and power in individuals donning firefighter personal protective equipment (PPE). Thirty-one healthy participants completed the THD in firefighter PPE on both the dominant and non-dominant limb. Dependent variables included LE power (vertical jump height [cm]) on a jump mat, and LE strength of the quadriceps and hamstrings (peak torque [Nm]) on an isokinetic dynamometer. THD was a strong predictor of LE power on the dominant (p<0.01) and non-dominant (p<0.01) limbs. THD was also a moderate predictor of LE strength on both the dominant limb (Ham60 [p<0.01]), Quad60 [p<0.01]), and the non-dominant limb (Ham60 [p<0.01]), (Quad60 [p<0.01]). The THD was found to be a strong and valid predictor for clinical measures of LE power and strength in firefighter PPE.
本研究的目的是检验三步跳远距离（THD）体能测试对评估穿着消防员个人防护装备（PPE）的个体下肢（LE）力量和功率的预测价值。31名健康参与者在穿着消防员PPE的情况下，分别在优势肢体和非优势肢体上完成了THD测试。因变量包括在跳垫上的下肢功率（垂直跳跃高度[厘米]），以及在等速测力计上的股四头肌和腘绳肌的下肢力量（峰值扭矩[牛米]）。THD是优势肢体（p<0.01）和非优势肢体（p<0.01）下肢功率的强预测指标。THD也是优势肢体（Ham60 [p<0.01]）、Quad60 [p<0.01]）以及非优势肢体（Ham60 [p<0.01]）、（Quad60 [p<0.01]）下肢力量的中度预测指标。研究发现，THD是穿着消防员PPE时下肢功率和力量临床测量的强有力且有效的预测指标。
