The SportLab founder, Dr. Lowell Greib, had been working on a training program specifically for firefighters to increase their overall level of fitness and better prepare them for the demanding challenges they face on the job. Due to the rigorous nature of the training, Dr. Greib felt Nelson would make a strong addition as a facilitator for some of the sessions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was great,\u201d says Nelson. \u201cSome of the guys were already in great shape, and the others were quickly getting there. They understood that doing what I do means having to work out a couple times a day, every day. So when I gave them a workout or explained how to do things, they knew I had the experience to know what I was talking about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cComing from an athlete to an athlete is helpful,\u201d agrees Dr. Greib. \u201cThere is a healthy respect with everyone knowing who Kyle is and the level of intensity that he has when he\u2019s fighting. When he is able to bring that game over to helping challenge the firefighters themselves, it\u2019s a huge bonus in that they are going to get a little more out of the workout.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12058\" style=\"width: 712px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12058\" class=\"wp-image-12058 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/03\/Firefighters2-1024x400.jpg\" alt=\"Exercises in the training program included squats, burpees and the battle rope (pictured above, right) while wearing heavy gear\" width=\"702\" height=\"274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/03\/Firefighters2-300x117.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/03\/Firefighters2-768x300.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/03\/Firefighters2-1024x400.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-12058\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Exercises in the training program included squats, burpees and the battle rope (pictured above, right) while wearing heavy gear<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The program itself is built around the understanding that firefighters typically work in hot environments, in protective clothing that restricts their movement, while wearing heavy packs. Specific exercises mimic these real-life situations with the class often suiting up in bunker gear before engaging in activities requiring them to move, lift and pull in awkward positions. Participants are evaluated by their aerobic capacity, physical strength, and muscular endurance both before and after the training program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA certain amount of athleticism is something that firefighters need to have, and they need to have it when they least expect it,\u201d says Dr. Greib. \u201cThey can\u2019t forecast a call, they never know when that pager is going to go off or what situation they might face. It could be a structure fire, an alarm, an extrication from a vehicle, a water rescue, a forest fire or brush fire, there are lots of different things that they are exposed to and they never know what they are going into.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By having conditioning and athleticism ingrained into the culture of being a firefighter, everybody wins. Not only does the training enhance the safety of the individual firefighters, it also increases public safety with the force as a whole being more effective and better able to perform their emergency duties.<\/p>\n<p>It is Dr. Greib\u2019s hope that the program will continue to grow and evolve into a more wholesome perspective of firefighter conditioning, not just in Huntsville and Lake of Bays, but in fire services across the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur fire department is very much at the forefront of incorporating some of these thoughts and processes into operation,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s exciting to be involved at this level with this tiny little volunteer service from Huntsville. There are a lot of career services that are not functioning in the capacity that the our department is from this perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kyle Nelson, one of the Canada&#8217;s most prominent lightweight MMA fighters, knows what it&#8217;s like to be in the heat of battle.
