Article Synopsis
- Exposure footwear for firemen (EFF) is essential protective gear for firefighters, but its impact on walking biomechanics is not well understood.
- A study with 20 male firefighters compared the effects of EFF and fitness shoes on lower limb movement and muscle activation during walking tasks.
- Results showed that wearing EFF changed joint movement patterns and increased muscle activation, potentially raising the risk of fatigue and injuries; thus, EFF should be made lighter and more flexible, and training should focus on strengthening specific muscle groups.
