| Description | To meet the modern standards and demands of the firefighting profession, the firefighters must be physically fit. During the fire suppression, there is a potential risk of exposure to chemicals with significantly negative health effects that many of them are lipophilic. Aim of our study is to identify whether there is a relationship between physical fitness, amount of body fat fraction and a level of exposition to health-affecting chemicals in a group of firefighters. |
