Resumen |
Heart rate (HR) and oxygen consumption (VO2) responses during actual fire-suppression emergencies were monitored in 10 male firefighters. These firefighters worked at 157 ± 8 beats per minute (bpm) for 15 ± 7 minutes. This was 88 ± 6% of their previously determined HR max. Based on treadmill testing, the HR x VO2 relationship was established for each firefighter. The predicted VO2 derived from HR monitoring in actual emergencies 25.6 ± 8.7mL/kg/h or 63 ± 14% of VO2 max (40.0 ± 6.5mL/kg/h). These values on the cardiorespiratory response to actual emergencies are very similar to results derived from studies employing fire-suppression simulations. Recommendations for the VO2 max of firefighters ranging from 33.5 to 42.0mL/kg/h that have been generated from simulation testing appear appropriate given the cardiorespiratory responses to actual emergencies. |
