The life-threatening risks that fire service personnel face are
taxing both physically and mentally. Firefighters and emergency
medical personnel have a higher rate of heart disease, lung
disease, cancer, substance abuse problems, and injuries than the
general population. Studies show that high levels of cardiovascualr
conditioning, muscular strength, endurance, and flexibility allow
firefighters to perform their jobs safely and more effectively.
Now, fire and rescue workers can turn to Comprehensive Wellness for
Firefighters for all the information they need to evaluate and
improve their personal lifestyles. This uniquely accessible book
focuses on self-assessment methods and action planning procedures
that emphasize personal responsibility for good health and enable
readers to apply the information to their own lives. In addition to
the personal health evaluations, sample workout routines, and
instructive exercise programs, the authors integrate materials
essential for total health including information on diet and
nutrition, drug and alcohol issues, and critical incident stress
management techniques. By using this book, readers will be able to
effectively:
-Evaluate their current level of physical fitness in order to
monitor their future progress
-Select exercise options that best meet their preferences, needs,
and objectives
-Develop strategies and personal action plans that promote and
improve total health and fitness
-Adopt a long-term commitment to a physically and mentally healthy
lifestyle
Designed as a valuable resource and practical guide,
Comprehensive Wellness for Firefighters not only attempts to
minimize risk in an inherently hazardous line of work, but also
promotes behavior and attitudes that contribute to long-term health
and well-being.
