Abstract
The aim of study intends to investigate effect of weight of fire fighting protective equipment for physical activity ability and to provide the base data for the safety of firefighter. The results of the study are as follows. The maximum all-out time is short about 18.8% in weight-jacket case which weight is same with fire-protective equipment than case of gym suit. The maximum oxygen consumption increased 17.6% in gym suit case than case of weight-jacket. The maximum heart rate is high 5.4% in gym suit case than case of weight-jacket.
