Ode, J., Fulton, J. (SVSU Student), Knous, J., Lowry, J., & Peterson, J. (SVSU Student) (2011). Cardiovascular disease risk in volunteer firefighters. Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 43(5), 771. doi: 10.1249/01.MSS.0000402143.94799.8f Cardiovascular related events are the leading cause of on-the-job deaths in firefighters. Currently, many firefighter divisions rely on volunteer firefighters. With the increased dependence on volunteer firefighters, it is important to evaluate the fitness and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk of these individuals. However, few studies have examined the CVD risk in volunteer firefighters.
