商品簡介

This resource focuses on physically demanding occupations that require strength and stamina, such as law enforcement, forestry, and the military. It examines the relationship of recruitment practices, physical training, and physical evaluation to the environment of corporations, labor organizations, the legal system, and employment rights. The book's perspective is that of the work physiologist (also called occupational or applied physiologist or exercise scientist) who studies the physiological responses to hard work. Chapters are in sections on the job and the worker, test development and validation, employee selection practices, employee health, physiology, and performance, and job-related issues. About 40 pages of appendices provide policies, procedures, and assessment tools. The audience for the book includes work (occupational) physiologists and graduate students, physicians in occupational medicine, and managers and employees in physically demanding occupations, as well as city and agency personnel specialists, lawyers and expert witnesses, and those who write and interpret employment laws. Sharkey is a physiologist in the Technology and Development Center at the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service in Missoula. Davis is president of First Responder Institute in Maryland.

作者簡介

Brian J. Sharkey, PhD, is a physiologist in the Technology and Development Center at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service in Missoula, Montana, where he researches fitness, health, and work capacity. Previously, Sharkey served as director of the University of Montana's Human Performance Laboratory and remains associated with the university and lab as professor emeritus.

As a leading fitness researcher, educator, and author, Sharkey has more than 40 years of experience in both exercise and work physiology, including research with wildland firefighters. For contributions to the health, safety, and performance of firefighters, Sharkey received the USDA's Superior Service Award in 1977 and its Distinguished Service Award in 1993.

Sharkey is a past president of the American College of Sports Medicine and served on the NCAA committee on competitive safeguards and medical aspects of sports, where he chaired the Sports Science and Safety subcommittee, which uses research and data on injury to improve the safety of intercollegiate athletes. He also coordinated the United States Ski Team Nordic Sports Medicine Council.

In his leisure time, Sharkey enjoys cross-country and alpine skiing, road and mountain biking, running, hiking, and canoeing. He lives near his grandchildren in Missoula, Montana.

Paul O. Davis, III, PhD, is the president of the First Responder Institute in Burtonsville, Maryland, where he has conducted job and medical standards development for hundreds of public safety and military organizations. He is a former firefighter/paramedic and as a member of the Fire Board of Montgomery County, responsible for the development of definitive medical care outside of the hospital.

As an expert witness, Davis has made more than 60 appearances in federal and state court and was recruited by the FBI to participate in legal defense of physical standards. He was also selected by the United States Marine Corps to validate the physical fitness test (PFT) and to conduct certification of the physical training unit staff at the FBI Academy at Quantico, Virginia. Most recently he was engaged by the Department of Homeland Defense to develop hiring and retention standards for the reorganized Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE-D). He is the creator of several TV sports productions including the Firefighter Combat Challenge providing color commentary on ESPN, A&E, and the Versus network.

Davis is a fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine. He received his PhD in exercise science in 1976 from the University of Maryland.
