The CFA-VFBV Firefighter State Championships are fast approaching.

 

While brigades across Victoria are busy preparing for their events, the Health Services team has developed a suite of health resources to help Championship participants with their preparation.

Like any sporting event, proper eating (aka 'fuelling'), hydration and injury prevention activities are important components in preparation for the Championships.

To optimise performance, members need to think about the best foods to eat, how to stay hydrated and practical strategies to reduce the risk of injuries. This is also a great time for members to reflect on their overall health – and how preparing for the Championships can be a great opportunity to embed lasting healthy behaviours.

Health Services new Health at Championships page on Members Online is your one-stop shop to help you prepare yourselves and your teams for a healthy Championships experience.

You can find downloadable information on the types of food to eat, how to stay hydrated when exercising in warm weather, and how to best warm up and cool down on Members Online.

As always, you will find the Health Services Team in attendance at both the Junior and Senior Championships events, offering free heart health checks to brigades and family members, as well as providing a range of health information and education activities.
