OBJECTIVE
To describe volunteer firefighters' perspectives on how firefighter- and fire department-level factors influence their physical activity and fitness.
METHODS
Firefighters (n = 28) were interviewed, stratified by their years of firefighting, using an interview guide. Thematic analysis and systematic coding were used to analyze the interview transcripts.
RESULTS
Five themes were identified: (1) health and firefighting performance, (2) firefighter time and availability, (3) responsibility of the fire department to support volunteer members' physical fitness, (4) fire training drills as a form of functional physical activity, and (5) fitness initiatives at the department. Interviewing by years of experience showed varied perspectives that converged toward similar conclusions.
CONCLUSIONS
Incorporating fitness discussions into department meetings and trainings and identifying fitness advocates within the department may contribute to overcoming barriers to physical fitness among volunteer firefighters.
目的
描述志愿消防员对于消防员个人层面和消防部门层面的因素如何影响其身体活动和健康状况的看法。
方法
采用访谈提纲，对28名消防员进行访谈，并按其消防工作年限进行分层。运用主题分析和系统编码对访谈记录进行分析。
结果
确定了五个主题：（1）健康与消防工作表现；（2）消防员的时间与可利用性；（3）消防部门支持志愿消防员身体健康的责任；（4）作为功能性身体活动形式的消防训练演习；（5）部门内的健身倡议。按经验年限进行访谈显示，尽管观点各异，但得出了相似的结论。
结论
将健身讨论纳入部门会议和培训，并在部门内确定健身倡导者，可能有助于克服志愿消防员在身体健康方面的障碍。
