2 Figure 1 Metabolic demand for hike types occurring on fire assignments and an estimation of pack test demand for subjects in the study. The pack test estimation uses the Pandolf prediction equation and is based on each subject’s body weight and a speed of 1.8 m·s-1 to complete the current arduous work capacity test in 45 min with a load of 20.5 kg (45 lb). Data are expressed as mean±SD. Wilderness & Environmental Medicine  , DOI: ( /j.wem ) Copyright © Terms and Conditions
