Research advances in sports biomechanics in the performance evaluation of firefighter protective equipment
Wearing personal protective equipment(PPE)is an im-portant mean to ensure the safe operation of firefighters and res-cue personnel,and its ergonomics evaluation has also become a research hotspot at home and abroad.This paper describes the current research status of sports biomechanics in the field of fire-fighter protective equipment performance evaluation from the cur-rent situation of biomechanical evaluation technology and its ad-vantages and disadvantages,and the application of adaptive appli-cation of protective equipment,respectively.It systematically analyses the research status of pressure sensing,surface electro-myography and motion capture technology on the performance of torso protection,hand protection,foot protection,head protec-tion and other equipment.Different working environments and hu-man body shapes affect the performance evaluation of firefighters'protective equipment,and future research needs to further explore the relationship between the indicators,simulate the real working conditions,and comprehensively reveal the key mechanisms af-fecting the performance of protective equipment,so as to provide a reference for further improving the adaptation of protective equipment.
