Study Regarding the Physical Training in Firefighters’ Obstacle Course

Abstract

Abstract Firefighting occupation demands physical and psychological training required in emergency situations. The investigation started in March 2018, with a initial test, and finished in September 2018, with a final test, at the Emergency Situation Unit from Sibiu. The sample of the experiment was formed by 10 firefighters that participate in the emergency team of Sibiu at the specific firefighters’ competitions, with age between 30± 3.5 years old with experience in this kind of competitions between 2 and 7 years. The methods used in our investigation was preponderant experimental with specific testing for firefighters, the data obtained was analyzed using statistical specificity test. The result of our experiment highlighted the progress that every firefighter had, registering a progress of 2.12 second from the initial test 23.48 to the final test 21.36, being statistically significant difference calculated with the t Student test p = 0.00006. The conclusions of our research showed that using a specific program for developing motor qualities and kinematic analyze, we can improve firefighter’s performance and also reduce time of emergency interventions.
