Abstract：
The purpose of this study was to observe if core stabilization training plays a significant role in firefighter time-to-completion during a functional performance test. A within subjects study design was used in which subjects (n = 13, 84.6% male, 33.7 ± 7.4 years of age, 91.06 ± 13.29 kg, 25.79 ± 6.55 percent body fat, 8.96 ± 7.51 years of firefighting experience) completed two performance tests (pre and post core training), comprised of 7 firefighter-specific exercises performed while wearing a 22.68 kg weight vest to mimic typical firefighter equipment. Between testing sessions, subjects were prescribed specific core stabilization exercises to perform at least three days a week for a total of 4 weeks. Time-to-completion was significantly quicker between the first (300.89 ± 42.11s) and second (256.92 ± 34.31s) performance testing, on average by 43.8 seconds (p < 0.001). Body mass index (p = 0.065) and rating of perceived exertion during testing (p = 0.084) did not significantly decrease across the course of the study. Adequate fitness is essential to firefighters\' job task performance. Data from this study suggests that regular core stabilization training may assist in optimizing the effectiveness, and potentially safety, of firefighters\' performance in high intensity functional skills.
摘要：
这项研究的目的是观察核心稳定训练是否在功能性能测试期间对消防员完成时间起着重要作用。使用受试者内研究设计，其中受试者(n=13，84.6%男性，33.7±7.4岁，91.06±13.29kg,身体脂肪25.79±6.55％，包括7次针对消防员的练习，穿着22.68公斤重的背心模仿典型的消防员装备。在测试会话之间，受试者接受特定的核心稳定训练,每周至少进行3天,共4周.在第一次（300.89±42.11s）和第二次（256.92±34.31s）性能测试之间，完成时间明显更快，平均43.8秒（p<0.001）。在整个研究过程中，体重指数（p=0.065）和测试过程中感知的劳累等级（p=0.084）并未显着降低。足够的健身对消防员的工作任务表现至关重要。这项研究的数据表明，定期进行核心稳定训练可能有助于优化有效性，和潜在的安全，消防员在高强度功能技能方面的表现。
