Body composition is relevant for the health and work performance of firefighters. However, the behavior of these parameters has not been elucidated for groups of firefighters performing different tasks.
To compare the anthropometric profile of military firefighters who perform administrative (ADM) or operational work .
The sample comprised 121 (ADM = 50 and operational = 71) male military firefighters. Body mass (BM), body fat percentage (BFP), fat body mass, lean body mass, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference and somatotype were analyzed.
Intergroup difference was found for body mass (ADM = 78.5 kg - operational = 84.6 kg), BMI (ADM = 25.8 - operational = 27.2) and lean body mass (ADM = 61.9 kg - operational = 66.2 kg).
The groups exhibited differences in their anthropometric profile and BFP and BMI above the recommended range.
身体成分与消防员的健康和工作表现相关。然而,对于执行不同任务的消防员群体,这些参数的变化情况尚未阐明。
比较从事行政(ADM)或作战工作的军事消防员的人体测量特征。
样本包括121名男性军事消防员(ADM组50人,作战组71人)。分析了体重(BM)、体脂百分比(BFP)、脂肪体重、去脂体重、体重指数(BMI)、腰围和体型。
发现两组在体重(ADM组=78.5千克,作战组=84.6千克)、BMI(ADM组=25.8,作战组=27.2)和去脂体重(ADM组=61.9千克,作战组=66.2千克)方面存在组间差异。
两组在人体测量特征方面存在差异,且BFP和BMI超出推荐范围。
