“…During training the following psychophysiological objectives are pursued: learning motor skills, developing mental and physical qualities of motor activity: speed, endurance, skill, will, self-confidence, courage, determination, initiative [5]. Learning and developing motor skills is done with participation of the central nervous system, which ensures the body's functions efficiency increase and through it, a high level of activity of the musculoskeletal system [5,6].…”

“…Usually, those who work under the protection of respiratory protection devices, in addition to the fact that they carry a device that weighs 14-18 kg, are also subjected to actions of great difficulty, as ensuring their own safety, saving lives, performing fast, urgent and highly qualified activities (insulation of damaged areas, work in flooded areas, transport of materials or injured people through works with reduced profiles, etc.) in severe microclimate (high heat and humidity), toxic environment, smoke etc [6]. Thus, the physical effort put in by rescuers is intense, because of the conditions mentioned above.…”

The paper presents the structuring of physical effort put in by rescuers during training, taking into account the activity specific psychosocial factors, structuring that aimed at streamlining the training process of intervention and rescue personnel in toxic / explosive / flammable environments. Training routes with various degrees of difficulty, allowing the simulation of intervention activities in horizontally and vertically confined spaces, low visibility, high temperature and humidity environments were analysed, for each the specific labour consumption being calculated. A dysfunctional phenomenon caused by the intervention and rescue activity is fatigue, perceived as a body reaction to readjust and restore its functions following intense or repeated body requests for energy consumption. Not only physical fatigue (which can be controlled through exercises) is specific for rescue and intervention activity but also mental fatigue. In addition to physical and technical training, psychosocial training of people who carry out intervention and rescue activities was followed in the training programs.

“…Considering the great variability of individual skills regarding the possibility of performing a job, work capacity should be understood as the total of individual possibilities to perform a maximum amount of work. Usually [1,2], in the professional activity, only a part of the work capacity is consumed, embodied in results of the work process.…”

“…The total work capacity also includes an important body reserve that is used only in extreme cases [1]. Work capacity can be defined as the performance that man can achieve with maximum possibilities.…”

High variation of efforts in the rescue activity entails very difficult demands in nature or intensity, but however limited they may be in the work process, they have an impact on the whole body. The predominance of body functions that are engaged in a professional activity, imprints the characteristics of work capacity. Thus, in the work capacity of underground personnel, whose activity requires a predominant physical effort, a main role is played by the locomotor apparatus and the kinaesthetic analyser and only secondarily by the visual and optical analysers. In the activity of rescue in toxic/explosive/flammable environments, physical and neuro-psychological demands intertwine and combine in an infinite number of variants. The paper will present the work capacity of the rescuers which is determined by a large number of factors: physiological factors, psychological factors, work environment and socio-economic factors.
