Abstract(s)
A atividade policial possui uma dinâmica própria de tarefas imprevisíveis como
controlar, levantar e perseguir um suspeito, que exigem uma boa aptidão física (Beck et al.,
2015). De forma a garantir que os polícias possuem um bom desempenho físico devem ser
realizados testes de aptidão física. Existem vários testes físicos para polícias (Massuça et al.,
2022), no entanto os protocolos de avaliação são bastante heterogéneos.
Objetivos: (i) validar um protocolo de avaliação da aptidão física (PAApF) para polícias
(Estudo I); e (ii) caraterizar o perfil físico dos polícias das EIR do COMETLIS-PSP, através
da implementação do protocolo de avaliação da aptidão física (Estudo II).
Método: No Estudo I (metodológico com um desenho longitudinal do tipo teste–reteste),
participaram 122 cadetes do ISCPSI, que realizaram o protocolo em dois momentos (T1 e
T2), separados por sete dias. No Estudo II (observacional de corte transversal), foi aplicado
o PAApF a 123 polícias das EIR do COMETLIS, num único momento. O PAApF foi
constituído por quatro testes físicos: (i) salto de impulsão horizontal; (ii) força de preensão
manual; (iii) sit-ups de 60 s; e (iv) vaivém 20 m.
Resultados: O PAApF obteve um ICC de 0.89 e um SEM de 0.45. Os cadetes do ISCPSI: (i)
apresentaram resultados de aptidão física superiores aos encontrados na literatura
internacional, na potência muscular dos membros inferiores e na resistência muscular
abdominal; e (ii) encontram-se acima dos padrões recomendados para a população em geral
(acima do nível bom), na força de preensão manual e na capacidade cardiovascular. Os
polícias das EIR: (i) apresentaram desempenhos superiores aos encontrados na literatura nas
quatro capacidades físicas mais estudadas; e (ii) encontram-se acima dos padrões
recomendados para a população em geral, na força de preensão manual e na capacidade
cardiovascular.
Conclusões: (i) o PAApF obteve uma fiabilidade alta em termos de reprodutividade,
indicando que é um protocolo válido e fiável; (ii) os polícias das EIR e os cadetes do ISCPSI,
do sexo masculino apresentam melhor aptidão física comparativamente ao sexo feminino;
(iii) os polícias das EIR da classe de idade ≤29 anos apresentam resultados superiores às
restantes polícias (>30 anos) em todos os testes; e (iv) os cadetes do ISCPSI apresentam
resultados de aptidão física superiores aos polícias das EIR em três dos quatro testes físicos
realizados.
Police activity has its dynamics of unpredictable tasks such as control, lifting, and pursuit of a suspect, which require good physical fitness (Beck et al., 2015). To ensure that police officers have a good physical performance, physical tests should be performed. There are multiple physical fitness tests for police officers (Massuça et al., 2022), however, the evaluation protocols are very heterogeneous. Objectives: (i) to validate a physical fitness assessment protocol (PAApF) for police officers (Study I), and (ii) to characterize the physical profile of EIR police officers from COMETLIS-PSP, through the implementation of the physical fitness assessment protocol (Study II). Method: In Study I (Test-Retest Longitudinal methodology), 122 students from ISCPSI participated, following the protocol at two different moments (T1 and T2), seven days apart. In Study II (Cross-sectional observational study), PAApF was applied to 123 police officers from EIR of COMETLIS, at a single time. Four physical tests constituted PAApF: (i) horizontal impulsion jump; (ii) manual grip strength test; (iii) sit-ups of 60 s; and (iv) multi stage fitness test of 20 m. Results: PAApF got an ICC of 0.89 and SEM of 0.45. ISCPSI students: (i) presented results of physical fitness above the ones found in the international literature related to lower limb muscle potency and abdominal muscle resistance; and (ii) are above the recommended standard for the general population (above grade good), in manual grip strength and cardiovascular capacity. The police officers of EIR: (i) presented results of physical fitness above the ones found in the international literature for the four most studied physical capacities; and (ii) are above the recommended standard for the general population, in manual grip strength and cardiovascular capacity. Conclusion: (i) PAApF has high reliability related to reproducibility, indicating that it is a valid and reliable protocol; (ii) EIR police officers and ISCPSI students of the male sex presented better physical fitness when compared to the female sex; (iii) police officers from EIR with ages ≤29 presented superior results to other officers (>30 years old) in all tests; and (iv) ISCPSI students presented physical fitness test results superior to EIR police officers in 3 out of 4 performed physical tests.
