Abstract: Wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) is an important mean to ensure the safe operation of firefighters and rescue personnel, and its ergonomics evaluation has also become a research hotspot at home and abroad. This paper describes the current research status of sports biomechanics in the field of firefighter protective equipment performance evaluation from the current situation of biomechanical evaluation technology and its advantages and disadvantages, and the application of adaptive application of protective equipment, respectively. It systematically analyses the research status of pressure sensing, surface electromyography and motion capture technology on the performance of torso protection, hand protection, foot protection, head protection and other equipment. Different working environments and human body shapes affect the performance evaluation of firefighters' protective equipment, and future research needs to further explore the relationship between the indicators, simulate the real working conditions, and comprehensively reveal the key mechanisms affecting the performance of protective equipment, so as to provide a reference for further improving the adaptation of protective equipment.

Key words: protective equipment, sports biomechanics, performance evaluation, adaptation
