In partnership with @originfitnessuk, @JBilzon and I are proud to launch the the first comprehensive best-practice course on fitness testing for the UK Fire Service sector. More info and booking here: occupationalperformancesolutions.co.uk/book-online. @FireFit_UK @alama_drs @NFCC_FireChiefs
Happy to share that our second paper on the demands of high-rise firefighting is now in print @JrnlEnvirOccMed . Firefighters with cardio-respiratory fitness scores below a VO2 max of 42.3 were over 3 times more likely to activate their low-air alarm than those above.@FireFit_UK
Great visiting the Riverside Stadium last wk, home of @Boro, for the @ClevelandFB 'Healthier Together' Conference 🧑🚒 Thanks for the invite to discuss enhancing #HumanPerformance & #CareerLongevity for the #FireAndRescue services 🙏🏋️ #Firefighter #Firefighters #TacticalAthlete
An interesting new (open access) paper on firefighter fitness. "Fire departments can...lower the risk of civilian casualties...by instituting regular physical exercise programs and enforcing a basic fitness standard for all firefighters". No rockets here, just stay @FireFit_UK!!
The @UniofBath were proud to have partnered with @NFCC_FireChiefs @FireFit_UK to develop these job-related fitness standards and requirements. Further links to our published research can be found here: occupationalperformancesolutions.co.uk/research

@FireFit_UK thanks for a super evidence based conference. Feeling fired up & excited about applying the learning. Maybe some things for us to look at @AACE_org #fitforwork #cantgowronggettingstrong #resilient #robust #workisgoodforyou
Great 2 days @FireFit_UK, wide variety of health and well-being talks, interesting discussions on future work. Take homes: 1) early education for career longevity is crucial, 2) create a listening and empathetic environment, 3) standardisation is key, 4) more action needed 👩🚒🚒
