Effects of the self-contained breathing apparatus and fire protective clothing on maximal oxygen uptake

Effects of the self-contained breathing apparatus and fire protective clothing on maximal oxygen uptake

To examine the effects of firefighting personal protective ensemble (PPE) and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) on exercise performance, 12 males completed two randomly ordered, graded exercise treadmill tests (GXT PPE and GXT PT ). Maximal oxygen consumption (VO 2max ) during GXT PPE was 17...

Zusammenfassung:To examine the effects of firefighting personal protective ensemble (PPE) and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) on exercise performance, 12 males completed two randomly ordered, graded exercise treadmill tests (GXT PPE and GXT PT ). Maximal oxygen consumption (VO 2max ) during GXT PPE was 17.3% lower than the GXT PT in regular exercise clothing (43.0 ± 5.7 vs. 52.4 ± 8.5 ml/kg per min, respectively). The lower VO 2max during the PPE condition was significantly related (r = 0.81, p
