Abstract

The aim is to show the effects of the use of personal protective equipment and breathing on VO2max. individuals of the 16th Fire Brigade Combat Team. The sample comprised 313 males (37.5±6.8 years). We obtained the value of the mass of personal protective equipment and respiratory value of 22kg and 27 kg (compositeor steel). We carried outan indirect test, established by Cooper, to VO2max., Which is to run for a period of 12 minutes, obtaining the average of 411.min-1-ml.kg. There was no positive correlation of the average VO2max. sample compared to the minimum rates prescribed in the literature. The VO2max. negatively influenced by the weight of personal protective equipment and respiratory. Variants were analyzed for the results found by relating them to the use of personal protective equipment and respiratory moving the discussion of the fire fighter must travel in the Cooper test to be able to use personal protective equipment and respiratory simultaneously, a distance least 2750 meters. We conclude that there is great need to promote individuals to the 16th Combat Team Fire training aimed at improving cardiac output and increased investment inequipment and respiratory protective equipment with less mass.
