Research for New Physical Ability Testing Method for Firefighters in the V4 Countries

Abstract

An analysis and precise identification of rescue operations by firemen are only possible under extreme and realistic conditions using special instruments. Monitoring of firemen’s physical preparedness for rescue actions is indispensable for efficient interventions and for preserving the health of firemen. We have elaborated complex physical aptitude testing that may be introduced in the V4 countries upon completion of a standardisation process.
