are usually trained from a technical, procedural and physical point of view. Still, during rescue simulations and competitions, technical training is not the only element involved. Participants work under time pressure, external evaluation, uncertainty and responsibility, and these conditions may generate strong emotional reactions. If these reactions are not regulated, they can affect attention, decision-making, coordination with the team and recovery after the task. The current paper starts from the practical ne...

Substances of petroleum origin that reach groundwater limit water use and can have irreversible effects on ecosystems interacting with them. Quantitative changes in groundwater and synergistic effects generated by petroleum products on ecosystems can be objectively quantified based on a scenario for the transport of pollutants concentrations through the aquifer. In this sense, with the help of mathematical models, the research estimates the spatial and temporal dimension of a possible accidental pollution by petro...

Under intense stress, energy consumption undergoes essential changes that largely depend on functional characteristics of the respiratory system, which in turn are in close correlation with the body?s training degree and physical demand. During a pronounced dynamic effort, there is a progressive decrease in blood oxygen saturation and an increase of pulse. Cardiac rhythm is a physiological parameter commonly used in telemonitoring as it allows the assessment of rescuer?s general condition, heart rhythm disorders b...
