Objective: The purpose of this study was to 1) examine the relationship between perceived work-related fatigue and performance fatigability, and 2) assess the impact of percent body fat (%BF) on perceived fatigue constructs in career firefighters.
Methods: Thirty-nine career firefighters completed body composition testing, the Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion Recovery (OFER15) scale assessing three subscales of work-related fatigue (acute fatigue, chronic fatigue, and inter-shift recovery), and maximal leg extensor isometric strength testing prior to and following an isotonic fatiguing protocol.
Results: Performance fatigability was not associated with any of the OFER15 perceived work-related fatigue variables ( P ≥ 0.
Article Synopsis
- IMbrella A is a Phase III study that allowed patients from earlier atezolizumab trials, like IMpower133, to continue receiving treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) with atezolizumab plus chemotherapy after the initial trials closed.
- In IMbrella A, 18 out of 26 eligible patients rolled over for further treatment, and results showed that median follow-up was 59.4 months with estimated three-, four-, and five-year overall survival rates of 16%, 13%, and 12%, respectively.
- The study reported that 16.7% of patients experienced serious adverse events, with only one grade two hypothyroidism noted,
The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of inter-limb leg lean tissue mass (LTM) asymmetry on stair climb (SC) performance in firefighters. Forty-one career firefighters (age = 32.3 ± 8.

Fifty front-line LEO completed workload surveys on workdays for eight weeks. Retention and adherence were assessed across the survey period.
