Hemostatic Responses to Multiple Bouts of Firefighting Activity
While the fire service has long been a male-dominated occupation, women's participation in this strenuous, high risk, high performance activity has increased in recent years. Firefighting induces significant cardiovascular strain, including hemostatic disruption; however, the effect of sex on hemostatic responses has not been investigated despite evidence that there are sex-related differences in hemostatic variables at rest and following exercis…
Inaccuracy of Affordance Judgments for Firefighters Wearing Personal Protective Equipment
In order to safely negotiate cluttered and dangerous environments, firefighters must efficiently and effectively make affordance judgments. Failure to do so could put them at risk for slips, trips, and falls, which are major causes of injuries for firefighters. We examined how well firefighters were able to perceive their obstacle crossing abilities while wearing firefighting protective equipment. Firefighters were asked to judge whether they cou…
Fighting Fires Without Falling
Slips, trips, and falls are a major cause of firefighter injuries. We examine how factors associated with the individual firefighter, specific tasks involved in firefighting, and the environment relate to the incidence of slips, trips, and falls. We also review our own research examining how aspects of firefighting gear and fatigue influence the balance and gait of firefighters performing common fire fighting tasks. Our results suggest that large…
