Abstract
The aim of study intends to investigate effect of weight of fire-protective clothing for physical balance and agility after maximum physical activity and to provide the base data for the safety of firefighter. For evaluation of static and dynamic-balance, the closed-eyes foot balance and the beam-walking were performed respectively. For evaluation of static and dynamic-agility, the whole body reaction and the side-step were carried out. This study demonstrates that after maximum physical activity, the weight of fire-protective clothing effects on physical static-balance and dynamic-agility and suggests that it could be useful for actual safety field studies of firefighters.
