Author and veteran firefighter Ryan Vacek understands the daily demands placed on firefighters. He has firsthand knowledge of what makes fire fighting among the most stressful--and dangerous--occupations in the world. Now, with "The Fire Athlete Fitness Program," Ryan Vacek aims to significantly reduce firefighter injury and help "fire athletes" achieve robust physical health and stamina. Vacek's program focuses on movements similar to those used while fighting fires, and it uses firefighting equipment, primarily a standard bundle of hose. He takes firefighters through easy-to-follow steps for each workout (enhanced with photographs) and indicates the intensity and duration of each exercise, including resting times and the particular strength that results from the exercises. Being in peak physical shape is imperative, not only for firefighters to work effectively but to safeguard their health and lives. With "The Fire Athlete Fitness Program," they can do just that.

Mandatory physical fitness programs were first introduced in the Bellevue Fire Department in 1976, yet some members of the Department lack the fitness necessary to perform essential firefighting tasks. The goal of the Department and the purpose of this research was to examine successful physical fitness programs for firefighting and develop a new physical fitness program. A historical and descriptive research methodology was utilized which resulted in several recommendations for inclusion into a new physical fitness program. The research questions specifically examined included, 1) How important is physical fitness?, 2) What are the essential elements of a physical fitness program for firefighters?, 3) Should fitness testing be a part of the program?, and 4) Should age and gender standards be established?

Public safety work is dangerous, and the link between fitness and remaining injury-free has been well established by research. Designing the Fitness Program examines the physical demands on public safety officers, as well as an array of related health and safety issues. In proposing that each public safety organization implements a fitness program for its personnel, the author provides a variety of options for ensuring that the standards and test regimens adopted by a department are suitable, both in terms of individual members and the roles that they fulfill. His unique, thought-provoking analysis of test protocols will help organizations avoid many of the pitfalls associated with modern labour laws and declaring anyone, weather rehabilitated member or new recruit, fit for duty.Contents: Part 1: Analysis Identifying the problem Standards and legal aspects The labour/management agreement Part II: Design Fitness defined Basic design plan The design matrix Part III: Development Staff and resources Test selection an development Developing the pilot study Part IV: Implementation Conducting the pilot study Part V: Education Standards and statistics Exercise recommendations and training Evaluating the program Part VI: Supplemental programs Work/injury management Wellness Physical performance Appendices.
