Overall Physical Fitness Score 5 2003-256 IMPLEMENTATION STRUCTURE: The blood draws will be conducted in early September. Six days will be allocated to accommodate two days per shift. Blood draws will be administered from 7:30-9:30 each day. The blood draw will be conducted at a centrally located fire station. The Lifestyle Questionnaire and the Respiratory Questionnaire (if this option is selected) will be distributed at the blood draw. These forms need to be completed prior to the wellnessJfitness assessment. The wellnesslfitness assessment will be schedule one week following the blood draw. One fire fighter will be evaluated at a time in a confidential setting every 90 minutes. It takes 60 minutes to conduct the wellnesslfitness screenings and 30 minutes for consultations. Each fire fighter will receive a copy of their lab results and a twenty page wellnesslfitness report displaying wellnesslfitness scores and guidelines concerning nutrition and exercise at the end of the 90 minute sessions. After the completion of the wellnesslfitness screenings A corporate summary report will be processed displaying average scores in all health and fitness parameters, number of fire fighters outside physiological and health parameter ranges and the number of fire fighters with high health risk factors. Furthermore, overall fire department recommendations will be issued concerning nutrition and exercise. Four to six fire fighters will be evaluated per day. Approximately seven weeks will be allocated for screening 170 fire fighters. If the blood draws begin the week of , September 8, 2003 and the screenings begin September 15, 2003. The screening process can be completed by November 1, 2003. 6 2003-256 FIRE FIGHTER PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE SCORE The following physiological parameters have a high statistical correlation (utilizing criterion-related validity tests) with actual fire fighter job tasks. Thus, the combination of these physiological parameters is used to calculate a well ness-fitness score. o Max V02 Consumption- (predicted from a sub-maximal treadmill test) o Body Composition Analysis- Lean Body Weight & Body Fat % (skinfolds & hydrostatic weighing techniques) o Grip Strength (upper body strength) o Vertical Jump (lower body power) o Abdominal Curts (muscle endurance) o Cardiovascular Disease Risk Profile (blood pressure, smoking, activity status, cholesterol, HDL and glucose) The Physical Performance Score ranges between 900-1800. Recommendations for improvement will be provided for fire fighters who are deficient (below the ideal values displayed in the literature for a fire fighter) in selective parameters, Improving in the deficient area(s) will result to an increase in the well ness-fitness score. Emphasis will be placed on the improvement of the wellness-fitness score, not the absolute value. The Physical Performance Score is intended to be used as a measurement against the fire fighter's previous examinations. The importance of comparing the wellness- fitness score each year is demonstrated in the following study. The study displays the relationship between increasing the wellness-filness score (regardless of the absolute score) and the lower risk of job related injury. 7 - - - - - - - - - - - I 2003-256 PHYSICAL PEROFRMANCE SCORE AND WORKER'S COMPENSATION STUDY Summary: o Over a six-year period, police officers experiencing an increase in the Physical Performance Score were significantly less likely to file a Workers' Compensation claim. Individuals experiencing a decrease in scores were more likely to file a claim. Study: o The study population consisted of 61 police officers from Escondido, California (EPD), who completed a Fit-For-Duty evaluation. The study group was screened annually during the study period of 1988 - 1993. o The Physical Performance Score was calculated from the following biometrics data: Body fat percentage, lean body weight, aerobic capacity, muscular strength & endurance, leg power, total cholesterol & HDL, blood pressure, glucose intolerance and smoking. Results: => On average, the EPD experienced 21 claims per year, at an approximate cost of $3,200 per claim. => Physical Performance Scores must increase at least 30 points per year, to avoid increases in Workers' Compensation claims (Anuw 2), => If no annual improvements occurred in the Physical Performance Scores, a company of 100 employees would experience an overall increase of 7 claims per year. (Anuw 1) ~ For a company with 100 employees, an annual Wellness-Fitness Score increase of 40 - 50 points relates, on average, to a decrease of 3 Workers' Compensation claims per year. (Anuw 3).

Heart attacks are triggered when inflammation causes deposits (high cholesterol causes fatty buildups in the blood vessels) to break off and clog an artery. Males with elevated CRP levels have a 3-fold increase in heart attack or stroke risk and females with elevated CRP levels have a 7-fold increase in heart attack or stroke risk. CRP can identify risk for heart disease among a population with normal cholesterol levels. Half of all heart attacks in the U.S. occur in people with normal cholesterol levels. .

EKG TREADMILL POLICY The NFPA 1582 Standard on Medical Requirements For Fire Fighters (1992 Edition) stated in Section B-3.2 Periodic Medical Evaluations, "No firm guidelines for stress electrocardiography in asymptomatic individuals have been developed. There have been problems with false positive results from this testing, especially in younger age groups." False positive test occur more frequently in asymptomatic individuals who are stressed beyond 85 percent of their maximal efforts. Thus, it is the policy ofF AI to conduct sub-maximal stress test to determine functional capacity (Max V02), a paramount performance parameter for fire fighters. The American College Of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Guidelines For Exercise Testing and Prescription states that physician supelVision is not recommended when administering sub- maximal stress test on asymptomatic apparently healthy and higher risk males and females regardless of age. However, if conducting maximal stress testing on males 40 and over and females 50 and over requires physician supervision. We comply with the ACSM recommendations. We utilize the EKG monitor to accurately determine heart rate (used in the prediction of the Max V02 score and the determination of85% heart rate) and to observe rhythm abnonna\ities. Furthermore, we monitor blood pressure as guideline for test termination in the event of a hypertensive or hypotensive response. Ifwe observe rhythm and/or conduction abnorma1ities on the EKG, exercise induced chest discomfort, extreme leg fatigue, dizziness, hypertensive and hypotensive response during the treadmill test we referrer this individual to participate in a maximal treadmill exam conducted with physician supervision. Furthermore, we recommend males who are 40 and over and females who are 50 and over who have high cholesterol (24 Or more), low HDL (below 35) high blood pressure and diabetes participate in a maximal treadmill stress test with physician supelVision. This complies with the NFPA 1582 Standard on Medical requirements for Fire Fighters (B-3.2 Periodic Medical Evaluations) and the Guide to Clinical Preventive Services report of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. 13 2003-256 PRICE FORM REQUEST FOR QUOTES: RFQ F-04-016 DESCRIPTION OF RFQ: Health Care Services for Fire Department Wellness and Fitness Program FITNESS APPRAISAL, INC.
