F2T 216 – Making Best Use of the WFI Fitness Assessment

Fitness assessments can provide valuable insight regarding on a fire fighter’s physical abilities, and serve as a guide to make personalized exercise recommendations. But this value will be influenced in part by the administration of the testing battery and the interpretation of the performers’ results. This workshop will highlight considerations to get the most value from the Wellness-Fitness Initiative (WFI) Fitness Assessment. A series of case studies will be used to link specific assessment results with the design and implementation of personalized exercise programs.

Continuing Education Credits (CECs)

Attendees who currently hold an FPS, PFT or WFA designation within the Fit To Thrive program will be awarded 2 F2T CECs. These CECs will be automatically applied to attendees’ membership profile following the workshop.

Attendees who are not currently members of the Fit To Thrive program will be granted membership as a Wellness-Fitness Ambassador (WFA) and awarded a WFA certificate.

Registration for this workshop is currently closed. Please check back soon for future workshop dates!

Our passive mobility reflects the ranges of motion Our passive mobility reflects the ranges of motion we have available and can be influenced by stretching- and mobilization-related activities.

But simply having range of motion available does not mean we will access it and/or have the ability to control it during relevant activities.

In contrast, our active mobility reflects the ranges of motion we are able to access (and control), and can be influenced by our body awareness, motivation, strength, endurance, etc.

Efforts to improve mobility must involve activities that challenge us to both access (via coordination and awareness) and control (via endurance, strength and speed) specific joint positions.

1. Increase the ranges of motion you have AVAILABLE. Take your time!

2. Learn to ACCESS the ranges of motion you have available. Move with purpose!

3. Reinforce active CONTROL of the ranges of motion you have available. Build capacity!

Whether we succeed or fail we will learn a lot about ourselves and how to deal with adversity in the process.
