| dc.description.abstract | Firefighting is a hazardous occupation,
where firefighters are involved in life-threatening
situations, being placed under tremendous physical strain,
while wearing heavy and insulated equipment to protect
them from chemicals, fumes and high temperatures. This
necessitates that firefighter stay in good physical condition
and maintain adequate cardiovascular fitness to cope with
these stressors and perform their duties with minimal
health risks. The aim of this systematic review and metaanalysis is to determine the effect of cardiovascular
health, musculoskeletal health and physical fitness on the
occupational performance of firefighters. | en_US |
