Abstract

Background: FIREFIGHTERs for difficult activities and rescue of damaged people must be in appropriatephysical ability. Maximal oxygen capacity is an indicator for diagnosis of physical ability of workers.This study aimed to assess the cardiorespiratory system and its related factors in FIREFIGHTERs.Methods: This study was conducted on 110 FIREFIGHTERs from various stations. An self-administeredquestionnaire (respiratory disorders questionnaire, Tuxworth‑Shahnavaz step test, and pulmonaryfunction test) was used to collection of required data. Average of humidity and temperature was 52%and 17°C, respectively. Background average noise levels were between 55 and 65 dB. Data wereanalyzed using SPSS software (version 19).Results: The mean age of the study participants was32 ± 6.2 years. The means of forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), and FEV1/FVC were 92% ±9.4%, 87% ±9.2%, and 80% ±6.1%, respectively. The participants’ meanVO2‑max was 2.79 ± 0.29 L/min or 37.34 ± 4.27 ml/kg body weight per minute. The results revealedthat weight has a direct association with vital capacity (VC), FVC, and peak expiratory flow. Inaddition, height was directly associated with VC, FVC, and VO2‑max (P<0.05). However, therewas an inverse and significant association between height and FEV1/FVC (r=−0.23, P<0.05).Height, weight, body mass index, and waist circumference were directly associated with VO2‑max.Conclusions: The findings of this study showed that the amount of maximum oxygen consumptionis close with the proposed range of this parameter among FIREFIGHTERs in other studies. Furthermore, the results of the study revealed that individuals had normal amounts of lung volume index. Thisissue can be attributed to the appropriate usage of respiratory masks.
