OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the cardiorespiratory fitness and other fitness-related measures, and to analyze the differences among age groups.
METHODS
This study was conducted on 104 firefighters. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) was assessed using the Shuttle Test and fitness was evaluated using appropriate physical tests.
RESULTS
Mean VO2 max was 45.7 mL/kg/min and 60.6% of firefighters were over the minimum accepted standpoint to do effective work, however, the VO2 max decreased with increasing age. 35.6% of the firefighters were overweight. Age, weight, and total body fat were found to be significant predictors of VO2 max level in this population, with total body fat as strongest predictor.
CONCLUSIONS
Healthy habits-based interventions tailored by age groups should be promoted, to improve cardiorespiratory fitness and body composition for safe work and to improve firefighters' health.
目的
评估心肺功能适应性和其他与健康相关的指标，并分析不同年龄组之间的差异。
方法
本研究纳入了 104 名消防员。使用 shuttle 测试评估最大摄氧量（VO2 max），并通过适当的体能测试评估健康状况。
结果
平均 VO2 max 为 45.7ml/kg/min，60.6%的消防员超过了有效工作的最低可接受标准，但随着年龄的增长，VO2 max 逐渐下降。35.6%的消防员超重。在该人群中，年龄、体重和体脂肪量被发现是 VO2 max 水平的显著预测因子，其中体脂肪量是最强的预测因子。
结论
应根据年龄组制定基于健康习惯的干预措施，以提高心肺功能适应性和身体成分，确保安全工作，并改善消防员的健康状况。
