Mine staff involved with rescue operations are often required to respond to physically challenging situations. This paper describes the physical attributes of mining rescue personnel. Methods 91 rescue personnel 34 yrs m 90 kg participating in the Queensland Mines Rescue Challenge completed a series of health-related and rescue-related fitness tasks. Health-related tasks comprised measurements of aerobic capacity VO2max abdominal endurance abdominal strength flexibility lower back strength leg strength elbow flexion strength shoulder strength lower back endurance and leg endurance. Rescue-related tasks comprised an incremental carry IC coal shovel CS and a hose drag HD completed in this order. Results Cardiovascular .
