Abstract

The former atributions of firefighters in Brazil had, as main core, the actual job of fighting fire. Nevertheless, as their scope of activities increased in time, there has been an increasing demand for more responsability taking and more actuation of these professionals on the civil society. The broadening of the firefigters' atributions also brings the necessity of better physical preparation and conditioning. This work aims to present the results of an investigation in which we analysed the physical conditions and assigned a training circuit in order to improve the performances of the physical aptitudes of the firefighters of Trindade-GO. The research was carried on considering a sample of 22 firefighters. For the data gathering, we applied the following tests: abdominal test, Luc-Léger Test, arm flexion test, throwing medicine ball and standing long jump test. Results point out that the average of those professionals showed a regular level of physical preparation in the first stage of the invastigation and also that they showed improvements in all of their physical aptitudes after accomplishing the training circuit assigned for the second stage.
