About
Alex Redshaw
Alex Redshaw’s study will provide a sound understanding of the movement capacity requirements of modern South Australian Metropolitan Fire Service (SAMFS) firefighters. The findings will identify the physical demands of critical occupational tasks, aiding the teaching and programming of future training activities. This study will also assess the movement capacities of full-time firefighters. The establishment of a contemporary ‘normative’ database of movement capacities in the SAMFS will be the first of its kind and will aid the development of future injury prevention initiatives.
Alex is currently a Fitness Coordinator at the SAMFS.
