The objective of this study was to examine the physiological response of 14 lifeguards in a swimming pool simulation with 1.7 m waves and to study the efficiency of the torpedo buoy. The rescue time was determined with and without material, as were lactate levels, heart rate and VO(2max).

For a fireman, knowing whether he is fit enough for his job implies regulating the intensity of the rescue without causing premature body fatigue. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to determine the real aerobic capacity in a sample of firemen, based on the VO 2máx , and to compare it with two self-report measures: the subjective appraisal of aerobic capacity and the appraisal of the physical exercise carried out.
