Abstract

Abstract: ten Siethoff, L, Petré, H, Ovendal, A, Nilsson, J, Godhe, M, Tedeholm, P, Helge, T, and Andersson, EA. A 3-minute work capacity test predicts simulated firefighting performance. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2025-The study aimed to identify a small set of fitness tests that could effectively predict performance in simulated firefighting tasks. Thirty-six (25 male and 11 female) firefighters participated in the study. Strength was evaluated with grip strength, barbell bench rows, and elevated trap bar deadlifts. Work capacity was assessed using a 3-minute pyramid test, executed with and without firefighting equipment. Firefighting performance was evaluated using a simulated work task course comprising stair climbing, hose pull, victim rescue, and equipment carry. We used backward linear regressions to derive models incorporating fitness test results, demographic variables, and oxygen uptake measures as predictors. Statistical significance was set to p < 0.05. The pyramid test without equipment accounted for 59% of the variance in task performance. When body mass and height were included, the model's predictive power increased to 71%. A final model, integrating the pyramid test, body mass, and absolute maximal oxygen uptake capacity (V̇o2max), explained 81% of performance variation. Our findings indicate that V̇o2max is the key factor in firefighter task performance, explaining 69% of the variance. The pyramid test, which estimates V̇o2max and predicted 59% of performance, is simple, time efficient, and can be conducted at stations to assess physical ability and work capacity.

3分钟工作能力测试预测模拟消防性能。
摘要:10 Siethoff, L, petreve, H, Ovendal, A, Nilsson, J, Godhe, M, Tedeholm, P, Helge, T和Andersson, EA. 3分钟工作能力测试预测模拟消防性能。[J]强度与控制,XX(X): 000-000, 2025-本研究旨在确定一组能有效预测模拟消防任务表现的体能测试。36名消防员(25名男性和11名女性)参与了这项研究。力量是通过握力、杠铃长凳行和高杠硬举来评估的。工作能力评估采用3分钟金字塔测试,执行有和没有消防设备。消防性能通过模拟工作任务课程进行评估,包括爬楼梯、拉软管、救援受害者和搬运设备。我们使用反向线性回归来推导模型,将适应度测试结果、人口统计变量和摄氧量测量作为预测因子。差异有统计学意义,p < 0.05。没有设备的金字塔测试占任务表现方差的59%。当考虑到体重和身高时,该模型的预测能力提高到71%。综合金字塔测试、体重和绝对最大摄氧量(vo2max)的最终模型解释了81%的表现变化。我们的研究结果表明,vo2max是消防员任务绩效的关键因素,解释了69%的方差。金字塔测试可以估算出最大耗氧量,预测59%的工作表现,简单、省时,可以在工作场所进行,以评估身体能力和工作能力。将金字塔测试纳入定期评估可以帮助消防员专注于提高他们的工作能力,这对取得更好的表现至关重要。

期刊介绍: The editorial mission of The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research (JSCR) is to advance the knowledge about strength and conditioning through research. A unique aspect of this journal is that it includes recommendations for the practical use of research findings. While the journal name identifies strength and conditioning as separate entities, strength is considered a part of conditioning. This journal wishes to promote the publication of peer-reviewed manuscripts which add to our understanding of conditioning and sport through applied exercise science.
