Hose running imposed the highest physical demand on females (44.0\u2009ml\u00b7kg\u22121\u00b7min\u22121). Mean maximal aerobic capacity values were 44.4\u2009\u00b1\u20095.5\u2009ml\u00b7kg\u22121\u00b7min\u22121 (directly measured) and 46.9\u2009\u00b1\u20096.7\u2009ml\u00b7kg\u22121\u00b7min\u22121 (estimated), assuming normal distribution, approximately 35% of the population would not meet the threshold of 42.3\u2009ml\u00b7kg\u22121\u00b7min\u22121. Mean Firefighter Simulation Performance of females was 7.4\u2009seconds slower than the passing requirements.

Further research is needed to expand the current evidence-base relating to the occupational demands of female firefighters and physical fitness testing to inform policies by using a more representative evidence-base. Additionally, this work highlighted the absence of published research related to fitness training, injury surveillance and female-specific considerations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/occmed\/kqag042","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,27]],"date-time":"2026-04-27T11:26:02Z","timestamp":1777289162000},"page":"237-247","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Scoping review of UK female-firefighters, physical fitness and occupational performance"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"76","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-5620-2153","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Warren","family":"Hart","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology, Sport Science and Wellbeing, University of Lincoln , Brayford Pool , Lincoln, Lincolnshire, LN6 7TS,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dan","family":"Martin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology, Sport Science and Wellbeing, University of Lincoln , Brayford Pool , Lincoln, Lincolnshire, LN6 7TS,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Bishop","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology, Sport Science and Wellbeing, University of Lincoln , Brayford Pool , Lincoln, Lincolnshire, LN6 7TS,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8077-4767","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"Taylor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology, Sport Science and Wellbeing, University of Lincoln , Brayford Pool , Lincoln, Lincolnshire, LN6 7TS,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026072818020859400_kqag042-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"503","DOI":"10.1093\/occmed\/52.8.503","article-title":"Generic task-related occupational requirements for royal naval personnel","volume":"52","author":"Bilzon","year":"2002","journal-title":"Occup Med (Lond)"},{"key":"2026072818020859400_kqag042-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"167","DOI":"10.1249\/JSR.0b013e31821a9fec","article-title":"Firefighter fitness: improving performance and preventing injuries and fatalities","volume":"10","author":"Smith","year":"2011","journal-title":"Curr Sports Med Rep"},{"key":"2026072818020859400_kqag042-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"637","DOI":"10.1097\/JOM.0000000000001313","article-title":"Physical and physiological performance determinants of a firefighting simulation test","volume":"60","author":"Siddall","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Occup Environ Med"},{"key":"2026072818020859400_kqag042-B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"479","DOI":"10.1097\/JOM.0000000000001583","article-title":"Validity and reliability of firefighting simulation test performance","volume":"61","author":"Stevenson","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Occup Environ Med"},{"key":"2026072818020859400_kqag042-B5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"161","DOI":"10.1093\/occmed\/kqae004","article-title":"Validity of submaximal aerobic capacity and strength tests in firefighters","volume":"74","author":"Hart","year":"2024","journal-title":"Occup Med (Lond)"},{"key":"2026072818020859400_kqag042-B6","author":"Home Office.
