CPAT-like program study underway at USF

摘要

Researchers at the University of South Florida (USF) are testing a new exercise program modeled after the Firefighter Candidate Physical Ability Test (CPAT) to determine if it can prevent firefighter injuries. The International Association of Fire Fighters/International Association of Fire Chiefs-certified CPAT mimics strenuous activities performed in emergency response and helps determine if an applicant has the physical endurance for a fire-fighting career.
