Each session included two simulating circuits performed in a fixed order: road crash extrication tasks (Crash) followed by structural fire suppression tasks (Fire), with a 10-min passive rest interval between circuits. Ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) and heart rate (HR) were recorded. Reliability was assessed using mean changes, intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), coefficients of variation (CV), and typical error (TE). Usefulness was evaluated by comparing TE with worthwhile changes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The CV was excellent (&lt; 5%) for all performance measurements. ICC values were excellent (&gt; 0.9) for Fire and total time (sum of Crash and Fire) and moderate (0.71) for Crash. Fire and total time were able to detect moderate but not small performance changes, whereas Crash time was not sensitive to such changes.
