  • Measuring the Impact of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic on Mobility Aspirations and Behaviours
    Davide J. Testa, Zaheer A. S. H. Nagarwala, João P. Vale, Andres E. Carrillo, Cagney T. Sargent, et al.
    Covid, 2024
    The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic prompted tens of thousands of people worldwide to migrate from cities in its early stages, leading to an increased spread of the virus. Understanding the factors driving relocation during a pandemic is crucial for effective outbreak control. We investigated how the pandemic influenced people’s aspirations and preparations to move, both domestically and internationally, surveying individuals in Greece, India, Italy, Kenya, Nigeria, Portugal, Serbia, Spain, and the United States of America. Out of 4448 eligible responses, 765 participants (17.2%) had a strong aspiration to move due to COVID-19, and 155 (3.5%) had already prepared. Those considering relocation were statistically significantly more likely to perceive moving to an area with fewer COVID-19 cases as protective against the virus (OR = 1.3, p < 0.05) or to know others who intended to relocate because of COVID-19 (OR = 1.5, p < 0.05). Conversely, a strong sense of being ‘at home’ reduced statistically significantly the strength of mobility aspirations (OR = 0.7, p < 0.01). Social alienation, social imitation, and the perceived efficacy of mobility increased aspirations to move due to COVID-19. This study emphasizes the rapid population movements at pandemic onset and their potential contribution to disease transmission, urging future pandemic planning to take account of such mobility dynamics.

    Frontiers in Public Health, 2024
    BackgroundWildland firefighters (WFFs) regularly face demanding physical and environmental conditions during their duties, such as high ambient temperatures, challenging terrains, heavy equipment and protective gear. These conditions can strain thermoregulatory responses, leading to increased fatigue and posing risks to their health and safety. This study examined the effectiveness of two cooling interventions during physical activity in hot environments.MethodsEight active male WFFs participated, comparing the effects of wearing a cooling vest (VEST) and personal protective equipment removal (PASSIVE) against a control condition (PPE). Participants walked on a treadmill at a speed of 6 km·h−1 for approximately 75-min under hot conditions (30°C and 30% relative humidity). Incremental slope increases were introduced every 15 min after the initial 20 min of activity, with 5-min passive recovery between each increment. Physiological and perceptual parameters were monitored throughout the protocol.ResultsSignificant main effects (p < 0.05) were observed in skin temperature (36.3 ± 0.2, 36.2 ± 0.4 and 35.4 ± 0.6°C in PPE, PASSIVE and VEST, respectively), physiological strain index (5.2 ± 0.4, 5.6 ± 1.1 and 4.3 ± 1.4 in PPE, PASSIVE and VEST) and thermal sensation (6.6 ± 0.6, 6.4 ± 0.7 and 5.3 ± 0.7 in PPE, PASSIVE, and VEST). However, no significant effects of the cooling strategies were observed on heart rate, gastrointestinal temperature or performance.ConclusionDespite the observed effects on physiological responses, neither cooling strategy effectively mitigated thermal strain in WFFs under the experimental conditions tested.

    Jorge Gutiérrez-Arroyo, Fabio García-Heras, Belén Carballo-Leyenda, José G. Villa-Vicente, Juan Rodríguez-Medina, et al.
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2023
    Wildland firefighting implies high physical and psychological demands for the personnel involved. Therefore, good physical fitness can help increase the work efficiency of wildland firefighters (WFFs) and safeguard their health. High-intensity circuit training (HICT) could be a good alternative to improve the physical condition of WFFs since it stands out for its functionality and economy. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the effects of HICT on the WFFs’ physical fitness. The study involved 9 WFFs (8 males and 1 female; 29.8 ± 2.8 years; 175.6 ± 6.7 cm) who completed a training program and 9 WFF candidates (8 males and 1 female; 24.7 ± 6.6 yr, 176.5 ± 7.0 cm) as a control group. WFFs performed an 8-week HICT program (two weekly training sessions). The training sessions lasted approximately 45 min and were performed at an intensity >80% of maximal heart rate and RPE values >7.5. At the beginning and the end of the intervention, subjects’ physical fitness (i.e., aerobic capacity, cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular resistance and explosive strength) was assessed through different tests. After completing the training program, WFFs had significantly increased (p < 0.05) the speed at which the ventilatory thresholds were determined (12.4 ± 13.9 and 5.7 ± 7.3% for the ventilatory and respiratory compensation thresholds, respectively) and also their abdominal (31.2 ± 17.2%), lumbar (34.1 ± 13.5%) and upper limb (13.3 ± 16.0%) strength. Moreover, improvements (p < 0.05) in the explosive strength of legs (7.1 ± 5.8%) and performance in a specific physical employment test (12.2 ± 6.1%) were observed. In conclusion, the results of this study show that an 8-week high-intensity circuit training program could be an effective and safe method to improve WFFs’ physical fitness and performance.

    Concepción E. Tuero del Prado, Belén Carballo-Leyenda, Raquel Rioja Martínez
    Revista Internacional De Educacion Para La Justicia Social, 2023
    La presencia del alumnado trans en el sistema educativo obligatorio evidencia la necesidad de generar estudios e investigaciones que contribuyan a facilitar la labor de los profesionales y la inclusión de los estudiantes trans. No se ha localizado ninguna investigación que analice las publicaciones sobre Educación Física y el colectivo trans desde la perspectiva bibliométrica. Así, los objetivos de este trabajo son: a) determinar indicadores bibliométricos relacionados con la producción, la colaboración y la repercusión e impacto, b) clasificar las publicaciones en función del tipo de estudio, y c) identificar las principales categorías temáticas de las publicaciones. A partir de la determinación de unos términos de búsqueda en cinco bases de datos se obtuvo una muestra de 20 publicaciones. El análisis bibliométrico indica la novedad de esta temática desde el punto de vista cronológico, así como su desarrollo en un contexto geográfico próximo (España y Reino Unido). Por su parte, el análisis de contenidos ofrece información sobre la tendencia en el uso de las palabras clave de las publicaciones, así como otros aspectos relacionados con la metodología de las investigaciones además de los temas con mayor presencia en los manuscritos.

    Retos, 2023
    El objetivo del presente trabajo fue analizar el tipo de pruebas físicas de selección utilizadas en diferentes convocatorias nacionales de acceso al servicio de Salvamento y Extinción de Incendios y describir las diferencias aplicadas en las marcas mínimas exigidas en función del sexo de los aspirantes. Para ello, se estudiaron 49 convocatorias de acceso a nivel nacional entre los años 2011-2020. Las pruebas físicas de las convocatorias fueron clasificadas en función de su carácter: genéricas (evaluación de las capacidades físicas básicas) o específicas (evaluación de los requerimientos laborales). Además, la diferencia entre las marcas exigidas a las mujeres y los hombres fue calculada en cada una de las pruebas. El 85.7% de las convocatorias realizaron algún tipo de diferenciación por sexo en el apto, el 8.2% no realizaron diferenciación y el 6.1% no aplicaron ninguna diferenciación en el apto, pero si en el baremo. En todas las convocatorias hubo alguna prueba de selección genérica, y en el 57.1% únicamente se realizaron pruebas genéricas. La diferencia media entre las marcas exigidas a los hombres y las mujeres fue del 17.6 ± 7.9%. El valor medio de las diferencias por sexo en las pruebas específicas fue del 18.3 ± 8.4%. En conclusión, las pruebas de selección más utilizadas fueron las genéricas, existiendo una gran heterogeneidad tanto en las pruebas utilizadas como en los baremos aplicados. Aunque en la mayoría de las convocatorias se estableció algún tipo de diferenciación por sexo, no parece existir una homogeneidad de criterios para su establecimiento. Palabras clave: diferencias de sexo, valoración, condición física, rendimiento físico, estándares laborales, bomberos Abstract. The aim of this study was to analyze the type of physical selection tests used in different national calls for access to structural firefighters service and to describe the sex differences applied in the cut-score of the applicants. For this, 49 national calls between the years 2011-2020 were studied. The physical tests of the calls were classified according to their nature: generic (physical fitness assessment) or specific (work requirements assessment). In addition, the difference between the cut-score required of women and man in each of the tests was calculated. 85.7% of the calls made some type of differentiation by sex in the pass, 8.2% did not make a differentiation and 6.1% did not apply any differentiation in the pass but in the scale. In all calls there was some generic selection test, and in 57.1% only generic tests were performed. The mean difference between the marks required for men and women was 17.6 ± 7.9%. The mean value of the differences by sex in the specific tests was 18.3 ± 8.4%. In conclusion, the most used tests in the firefighters’ selection processes were the generic ones. There was a great heterogeneity both in the tests used and in the scales applied. Although in most of the calls some type of differentiation by sex was established, there does not seem to be a homogeneity of criteria for its establishment. Key words: sex difference, assessment, physical fitness, performance, physical employment standards, firefighters

    Rodríguez-Marroyo, JA, Blanco, P, Foster, C, Villa, JG, and Carballo-Leyenda, B. Expanding knowledge about the effect of measurement time on session rating of perceived exertion. J Strength Cond Res 37(1): 230–233, 2023—The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of postexercise rating times (from 0 minutes to 4 weeks) on session rating of perceived exertion (sRPE). Twenty-five athletes (12 women and 13 men) from different sports (sprinting, endurance running, cycling, and volleyball) were involved in this study. At least 3 training sessions per subject were quantified based on sRPE using a visual analog scale. The scale was administered immediately after, at 5, 10, 20, and 30 minutes, 24, 48, and 72 hours, and 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks postexercise. In addition, the effect of rating time on sRPE was studied according to the training intensity. For this, the training sessions were classified (based on the 30-minute rating) as easy (sRPE < 3), moderate (sRPE 3–5), and hard (sRPE > 5). A significant (p < 0.001) main effect of the postexercise rating time on sRPE was found. There were significant (p < 0.05) differences between sRPE obtained at 30 minutes and those obtained immediately after hard training sessions and at 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks postexercise. There was no significant effect of rating time on sRPE in the easy and moderate training sessions. In conclusion, the present data suggest that athletes' sRPE may be obtained in a valid and reliable manner within a time frame of 5 minutes to 72 hours posttraining. The effect of postexercise rating time on sRPE seems to be conditioned by the training intensity, especially in those training sessions whose training intensity was high (sRPE > 5).

    Belén Carballo-Leyenda, José Gerardo Villa-Vicente, Giuseppe M. Delogu, Jose A. Rodríguez-Marroyo, Domingo M. Molina-Terrén
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2022
    This study aimed to assess current perceptions of heat stress, heat strain, acclimatisation and recovery practices in wildland fire suppression. A total of 1459 wildfire and structural firefighters, all involved in wildland fire suppression, completed an 18-question survey. Most participants (81.3%) reported heat strain as one of the main risks faced during wildland firefighting. Thermal strain is considered an important risk for health and safety in wildland firefighting. The best-valued heat strain mitigation strategies were those traditionally recommended in wildland fire suppression: (i) an adequate work/rest ratio (79.0%), (ii) acclimatisation (71.6%), (iii) enhancing body ventilation by opening protective clothing or removing helmets or gloves (63.5%), and (iv) drinking water and food supplementation (52.1%). Despite these results, only 22% of the participants reported carrying out acclimatisation in the workplace. The vast majority of the respondents (87.4%) consider active cooling strategies (i.e., ice slurry ingestion, ice vests, etc.) impractical in combating heat strain during wildfire suppression. We identified a gap between knowledge about heat strain, its mitigation strategies and the level of actual implementation of these practices in the workplace. Our results highlight the need to improve heat strain management and implement operational directives for acclimatisation and active cooling interventions.
  • Chronic Pain in Spanish Wildland Firefighters
    Fabio García-Heras, Jorge Gutiérrez-Arroyo, Patxi León-Guereño, Belén Carballo-Leyenda, Jose A. Rodríguez-Marroyo
    Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2022
    The work performed by wildland firefighters (WFFs) is very demanding owing to the conditions in which they have to operate. It has been reported that these professionals walk long distances over unstable and steep terrain carrying heavy loads, handle tools manually and repeatedly and are subject to a high level of thermal stress. Under such conditions, the risk of developing chronic pain (CP) is high, although despite this, there are no available data pertaining to CP among WFFs, to the best of our knowledge. As such, the aim of this study is to describe CP in Spanish helitack crews, for which purpose 221 WFFs (203 men and 18 women) completed an online self-report questionnaire. Approximately 60% of WFFs reported suffering from CP, of which 45.5% had CP in more than one body region at the same time. Age and length of service were associated with the probability of suffering from CP. Likewise, the age and height of WFFs and weight of the protective equipment used increased the prevalence of CP. Lastly, gender and job position affected CP location, with women and forepersons reporting greater prevalence of CP in the lower limbs. To conclude, the results obtained suggest the major prevalence of CP among Spanish WFFs, with current data suggesting in turn the importance that age, stature, gender, length of service, weight of protective equipment and job position have on the prevalence and location of CP.

    International Journal of Wildland Fire, 2021
    The main purpose of this study was to characterise the thermal environment and risk of heat burns of wildland firefighters in relation to the suppression tasks performed in real wildland fires. Measurements of air temperature and heat flux were performed by affixing heat flux and ambient temperature sensors on the outer and inner surface of the wildland firefighters’ protective garments. Suppression time was divided according to the task performed in direct attack, backfire, mop-up and patrol. These tasks accounted for 95.2±78.4, 103.3±41.7, 80.5±24.8 and 71.3±53.0min, respectively. Overall, the mean heat flux was higher during backfire (2165±1604Wm−2) than in direct attack (558±344Wm−2), mop-up (371±254Wm−2) and patrol (354±307Wm−2). However, during the direct attack, average and maximum thermal dose was ~94 and ~110 (kWm−2)4/3s, respectively. These values are within the threshold of pain and first-degree burns. However, no first-degree burns were reported for the sample. Overall, the thermal exposure measured may be considered light. However, high thermal exposure values may be obtained at specific moments, which may cause first-degree burns in wildland firefighters.

    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021
    The Pack Test (PT) is a widely used test to establish readiness for work in wildland firefighting. It is common to perform this test dressed in regular exercise clothing. However, wildland firefighters (WFF) have to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) during their deployments, which increases the physiological strain and reduces their work capacity. This study aimed to analyse the impact of full PPE on PT performance. Nine male professional WFF performed in random order a PT walking at the fastest possible self-pace wearing two different clothing configurations: (i) traditional short sports gear (SG) and (ii) the PPE currently used by Spanish WFF. Heart rate (HR), rating of perceived exertion and lap time were recorded during the PT. In addition, oxygen uptake (VO2) was estimated through the individual VO2–HR relationship previously obtained during a graded exercise test. There was a significant decrease in the PT performance (i.e., completion time) (~12%, p &lt; 0.05) in PPE. The physiological demands with this configuration were significantly higher (~10%, p &lt; 0.05). WFF spent ~13 min above the anaerobic threshold in PPE vs. ~4 min in SG. A multiple stepwise regression analysis revealed that PT performance variation might be explained by the maximal aerobic velocity (84.5%) in PPE and the VO2max (75.9%) in SG. In conclusion, wearing complete PPE increases WFF’s physiological strain, which translates into a significant PT performance reduction. Performing the test walking at the fastest possible self-pace wearing the PPE would better reflect the high-intensity effort periods reported in real scenarios.
