NFPA 1583 is the standard for the fitness assessment of firefighters. The assessment is conducted at least annually and is composed of five elements: aerobic capacity, body composition, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility. All elements can be tested and measured with a minimum of equipment within the firehouse. NFPA 1582 is the standard for fire chiefs to use to ensure that their firefighters are performing at their best. It contains a concise list of requirements for medical testing and physical examinations that should be done when firefighters join the department, and each year thereafter.
