Abstract
İTFAİYECİLERİN FİZİKSEL UYGUNLUK PARAMETRELERİNİN BELİRLENMESİ İstanbul İtfaiyecilerinin görev sırasında ihtiyaç duyduğu fiziksel uygunluk parametreleri ile ülkemizde ilk defa oluşturulacak olan mesleki performans test parametrelerinin belirlenmesi ve itfaiyecilerin fiziksel uygunluk parametreleri ile mesleki performans test süreleri ilişkilerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın denek grubunu; İstanbul İtfaiyesi’ nde görevli 25–35 yaş aralığında 79 erkek itfaiyeci, kontrol gurubunu labaratuar ortamında uzun süre çalışan ve düzensiz spor yapan 20 akademik personel oluşturmaktadır. Fiziksel uygunluk ölçümlerinde; Beden Kitle İndeksi (BKİ), vücut kompozisyonu, esneklik, sürat, kuvvet, kardiovasküler dayanıklılık testleri uygulandı. Mesleki performans ölçümlerinde; denge aletinde yürüme, zorla giriş, yaralı kurtarma, merdiven taşıma, arama- kurtarma, merdiven tırmanma, dolu hortum çekme ve tutma testleri yapıldı. Gruplararası karşılaştırmalar için bağımsız örneklem t testi ve itfaiyecilerin fiziksel uygunluk parametreleri ile mesleki performans test sürelerinin birbirleriyle ilişkileri için pearson korelasyonu kullanıldı. İtfaiyecilerin MaxVO2, kuvvet, esneklik, değerleri düzensiz spor yapan akademisyenlere göre daha yüksek bulundu (p<0,01). İtfaiyecilerin mesleki performans testleri; mesleki performans toplam test süresi, denge aletinde yürüme, zorla giriş, yaralı kurtarma, merdiven taşıma, arama – kurtarma, merdiven tırmanma, dolu hortum çekme ve tutma ile uygulanan fiziksel uygunluk test parametreleri arasında korelasyon bulundu (p<0,01). ksel Uygunluk, İtfaiyeci, Kuvvet, Mesleki Performans,
DETERMINATION OF PHYSICAL FITNESS PARAMETERS FOR FIRE-FIGHTERS The required physical fitness parameters for the Istanbul firefighters, which will help to determine the concordance between the physical fitness parameters and job-related performance test parameters of firefighters in Istanbul, will be investigated for the first time in our country. The study groups consisted of 79 male firefighters in Istanbul and a control group consisted of 20 persons from academic environment having irregular sports both between the ages of 25 – 35. Body Mass Index, flexibility, strength, cardiovascular endurance tests were performed for the physical fitness measurements. Beam walking, forced entry, victim rescue, ladder climbing, hose advancing tests was performed for the job-related performance measurements. The independent sample t-test was used for the inter-group comparisons and Pearson's correlation test for the relations between the physical fitness parameters of firefighters and the completion times for the job-related performance test. Firefighters’ MaxVO2, strength and flexibility values were higher compared to control group’s (p<0,01). A remarkably significant (p<0,01) relation was found between physical fitness parameters and the results in the job-related performance tests for the firefighters including the measurements for; the total time of completion, beam walking, victim rescue, ladder carrying, ladder climbing, hose advancing and holding.
