Abstract(s)
O estudo visa (i) avaliar as diferenças entre os sexos e o efeito dos quatro anos do CFOP na aptidão física dos cadetes do ISCPSI; (ii) avaliar o efeito da idade na aptidão física dos cadetes do ISCPSI; e (iii) construir tabelas normativas de desempenho nos testes de aptidão física com referência ao sexo e classes de idade.
Participaram no estudo 131 cadetes do sexo feminino e 555 cadetes do sexo masculino, correspondendo a um total de 2578 avaliações da aptidão física (feminino, n = 509; masculino, n = 2069). Foi considerada a primeira avaliação dos cadetes (T0) e, em complemento, as avaliações realizadas no final de cada um dos 4 primeiros anos letivos (T1, T2, T3 e T4), com referência ao intervalo temporal dos anos letivos 2004/05 a 2019/20. Cada momento de avaliação abrangeu duas dimensões: (i) morfologia básica e (ii) aptidão física.
Observou-se que (i) o sexo feminino apresenta, por norma, desempenhos inferiores nos testes de aptidão física; (ii) ao longo do curso (T0-T4) a aptidão física mantém-se/melhora, com a exceção da capacidade aeróbia no sexo masculino; e (iii) com o aumento da classe de idade o desempenho nos testes de aptidão física têm tendência a diminuir (com exceção de preensão manual e força dorso-lombar) para ambos os sexos.
Os resultados sugerem que (i) o CFOP consegue manter, no geral, a aptidão física de entrada dos cadetes; (ii) o grupo de idade 20-29 anos representa a idade com melhor desempenho físico para ambos os sexos; e (iii) os cadetes com idade superior a 29 anos apresentam, em ambos os sexos, o maior decréscimo no desempenho dos testes de aptidão física. Face ao exposto, as tabelas normativas construídas, para os dois sexos, e considerando duas classes de idade (≤ 29 anos e > 29 anos), parecem ser um contributo válido para ajustar processos de avaliação (externa e interna).
This study aims (i) to evaluate gender differences and the effect of the four years of the Police Academy Course on the physical fitness of Higher Institute of Police Sciences and Homeland Security’s cadets; (ii) to evaluate the effect of age on the physical fitness of Higher Institute of Police Sciences and Homeland Security’s cadets; and (iv) to construct normative tables of performance in physical fitness tests with reference to gender and age classes. A total of 131 female and 555 male cadets participated in the study, corresponding to a total of 2578 fitness assessments (female, n = 509; male, n = 2069). For this study, we considered the first assessment of the cadets (T0) and, in addition, the assessments carried out at the end of each of the first 4 school years (T1, T2, T3 and T4), with reference to the time interval from the school years 2004/05 to 2019/20. Each assessment moment covered two dimensions: (i) morphology; and (ii) physical condition. It was observed that (i) females have, as a rule, lower performances in physical tests than males; (ii) throughout the course (T0-T4) physical condition is maintained/improved, except for aerobic capacity in males; and (iii) with increasing age class, performance in physical condition tests tends to decrease (except for handgrip and back and lumbar strength) for both genders. The results suggest that (i) the Police Academy Course manages to maintain, in general, the cadets' entry physical fitness; (ii) the age group 20-29 years represents the age with the best physical performance for both genders; and (iii) student cadets older than 29 years present, in both genders, the largest decrease in physical fitness test performance. Given the above, the normative tables built, for both genders and considering two age classes (≤ 29 years and > 29 years), seem to be a valid contribution to adjust evaluation processes (external and internal).
