Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Research Hypotheses:
Firefighters participating in the team-based training model will demonstrate significant improvements in key fitness parameters, such as cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength, endurance, and body composition compared to those engaged in traditional training.
The team-based approach will enhance adherence to physical training among firefighters, leading to more consistent participation and improved health outcomes.
This clinical study is a randomized controlled trial that involved 42 firefighters who were divided into two groups: one receiving a team-based training intervention for six months and the other continuing with conventional exercises. The team training incorporated aerobic, resistance, and functional exercises, emphasizing teamwork and peer support to motivate participants. Key fitness measures, including cardiorespiratory fitness, strength, endurance, flexibility, and body mass index (BMI), were assessed before and after the intervention.
The study hypothesized that the team-based training model would not only enhance fitness levels but also improve adherence to training routines among firefighters, ultimately contributing to better health and safety during their demanding work.

Team-Based Training Intervention for Firefighter Fitness and Adherence
This arm involves a six-month team-based training intervention designed to improve firefighters' physical fitness and exercise adherence. The program includes aerobic, resistance, and functional exercises tailored to the demands of firefighting tasks. Sessions are conducted in small groups to foster teamwork and peer support, with participants receiving real-time feedback and guidance from certified professionals. The aim is to enhance cardiovascular fitness, strength, endurance, and overall health behaviors, while reducing injury risks. Participants track their progress using the Gymsmart (Pro X) app to monitor activity levels and adjust intensity for optimal results.
Intervention group：Conducted a 6-month team training intervention
Spanning six months, the program incorporated aerobic training, resistance training, and functional exercises essential for rescue operations. Each training session was led by certified professionals who emphasized adherence to safety protocols and provided real-time feedback.
Central to the training process was the significance of teamwork and mutual support, with sessions conducted in small groups focused on shared objectives. This framework fostered a collaborative environment that promoted peer support and motivated participants to actively engage in their fitness regimen. The group setting enabled firefighters to encourage one another and share individual progress, thereby enhancing their sense of responsibility and belonging.
Control group
The control group maintained their old habits
Control group： Maintaining old exercise habits
The control group will maintain their original daily habits without any intervention behaviors for them
