For VFF, VO_2peak in mL kg^-1 min^-1(r = -0.75, p = 0.002) and the duration they could hold a 1.2-m bar attached to 45.5 kg in a 'hose spray position' (r = -0.69, p = 0.004) were strongly correlated with PHT finishing time. This study shows that PHT fitness-screening could severely limit the number of VFF eligible for duty, compromising workforce numbers and highlights the need for specific and valid firefighter fitness standards. The results also demonstrate the strong relationships between PHT performance and firefighters' cardiorespiratory fitness and local muscular endurance. Those preparing for the PHT should focus their training on these fitness components in the weeks and months prior to undertaking the PHT. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd and The Ergonomics Society.]]> Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:34:53 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3763 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:34:47 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:16350 Tue 09 Aug 2022 10:07:09 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:17409 Thu 16 Mar 2023 12:37:07 AEDT ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:15875 Mon 28 Mar 2022 13:41:05 AEDT ]]>
