Initial training as a stimulus for optimal physical fitness in firemen
In this investigation the physical fitness of 34 recruits to the UK Fire Service was assessed before and after their initial training (tests 1-2) and on three occasions (tests 3-5) during the first 18 months of their service (n=34+6=40). The initial training (test 2-test 1) resulted in an increase i...

The initial training (test 2-test 1) resulted in an increase in maximum aerobic power (11% p<0·05), body mass (2 kg, p<0·001), lean body mass (2·02 kg, p<0·001), grip and lifting strengths (/><0·001), and in calf girth (p<0·05).
