Mobility should be 1 of, if not the 1st piece of information gathered when assessing a firefighter’s physical needs. We (@DemandsCapacity) are excited to start putting @KitchFire through our Mobility Screen™️ & offering solutions to help them. Thanks @DC_RMartin for having us in! – at Toronto, Ontario

Couldn't agree more! Our work with @DemandsCapacity is focused on building these types of assessments (and associated intervention strategies) for exercise professionals. We also teach about this in our MPK program @UofTKPE / @FutureKPE.
Wouldnt it be great if family medicine practices included Kinesiologist assessment of push up, pull-up, squat, lunge, hinge, overhead press and then prescriptions based on deficits?

Although #fitness is a crucial piece of being a #firefighter it’s not the only part. The fittest firefighters aren’t always the most resilient. HOW we move matters! @KitchFire A2 shift discussing #7keyfeatures to minimize injury and maximize performance. #movementmatters – at Kitchener, Ontario
