Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the main factors of knee and ankle injuries among Chinese firefighters, focusing on the role of training arrangements, training conditions, and knowledge of training injuries. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 963 firefighters to collect data on training content, duration, load, protective equipment, rehabilitation measures and fatigue after training. Multiple regression analysis was used to explore the relationship between each factor and knee and ankle injuries. This study shows that training load parameters, personal protective equipment, rehabilitation measures and fatigue or discomfort factors after training play a significant role in the occurrence of knee and ankle injuries. Based on this, a two-stage theory and a three-level intervention model of "training load monitoring-dynamic protection adaption-precision rehabilitation intervention" for firefighter knee and ankle joint injury were proposed.
