OBJETIVO: O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a validade e fiabilidade de um teste físico
para a função policial (CAFP) na avaliação da aptidão física para o desempenho da função.
METODOLOGIA: Noventa e sete (97) elementos da PSP (34.0±10.0 anos, Peso=80.3±9.6
kg, Altura=176±.6.0 cm, IMC=25.9±2.7 (kg/m2), % Massa Gorda=17.9±5.6, % Massa
Magra=78.19±5.4) foram divididos por quatro Grupos de Idade (G1=20-29 anos; G2=30-39
anos; G3=40-49 anos; G4 ≥ 50 anos). O Circuito de Aptidão Física para a Função Policial
(CAFP) foi aplicado a todos os agentes, controlando-se as seguintes variáveis: Tempo Parcial
1 (T1); Tempo Parcial 2 (T2); Tempo Total (TT), Frequência Cardíaca Inicial (FC0), Frequência
Cardíaca Intermédia (FC1); Frequência Cardíaca Final (FCFinal); Lactatos Inicial (La0), Lactato
Intermédio (La1); Lactato Final (LaFinal); Lactato no Final de 5 min (La5min). O estudo foi dividido
em duas fases. Na primeira fase investigamos a fiabilidade do CAFP utilizando o método
teste/retest. A segunda fase teve como objetivo avaliar a validade do CAFP. Para tal,
comparamos os tempos do CAFP com uma bateria de testes de terreno aptos a medir os
parâmetros da aptidão física geral essenciais à função policial (força máxima, força explosiva,
força de resistência e potência aeróbia). Comparou-se ainda os tempos do CAFP com os
resultados do Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST), para comparação com a
potência anaeróbia, e com os resultados obtidos através um teste direto de VO2máx de
laboratório.
RESULTADOS: Na primeira fase do estudo foram encontrados coeficientes de correlação
intraclasse fortemente significativos (p <.01) entre as variáveis. Obtivemos uma fiabilidade
elevada através do Alfa de Cronbach para as variáveis TT (α =.903) e FCFinal (α =.903),
fiabilidade moderada na variável FC1 (α =.748), fiabilidade baixa (ainda aceitável) no La5min (α
=.667), PSE (α =.663) e T1 (α =.616) e fiabilidade inaceitável no T2 (α =.313) e LaFinal (α =.377).
O tempo total do CAFP apresentou correlações significativas e fortes (p<.01) com os testes
de terreno de aptidão física geral (força máxima, força explosiva, força de resistência,
potência aeróbia e potência anaeróbia).
CONCLUSÕES: Concluímos que este teste é fiável e válido enquanto ferramenta para avaliar
a aptidão para a função do agente em efetividade de serviço e prever a sua performance nos
testes de aptidão física geral.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of a police officers fitness test (POFT) in the assessment of the physical ability to perform the job. METHOD: Ninety seven (97) PSP police officers (34.0±10.0 years, Weight =80.3±9.6 kg, Height =176±.6.0 cm, BMI =25.9±2.7 (kg/m2), % Fat Mass =17.9±5.6, % Lean Mass =78.19±5.4) were divided into four age groups (G1=20-29 years; G2=30-39 years; G3=40-49 years; G4 ≥ 50 years). The Police Officers Fitness Test (POFT) was performed by all the 97 police officers and controlled for the variables: Partial Time 1 (T1); Partial Time 2 (T2); Total Time (TT), Initial Heart Rate Frequency (FC0), T1 Heart Rate Frequency (FC1); Final Heart Rate Frequency (FCFinal); Initial Lactate (La0), T1 Lactate (La1); Final Lactate (LaFinal); 5 minutes Recovery Lactate (La5min). The study was divided into two stages. In the first stage we investigated the reliability of the POFT using the test/retest method. In the second stage our goal was to evaluate the validity of the POFT by comparing the results with a battery of general physical fitness field tests for the job’s underlying physical fitness factors (maximum strength, explosive leg strength, muscular endurance and aerobic power). The POFT was also compared with the results of the Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) for correlations with anaerobic power (RAST) and with the collected data from a direct VO2max lab test performed. RESULTS: In the first stage of our investigation there were significant Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICC) (p <.01) between variables. The high reliability standard was established through Cronbach Alfa’s coefficient for the variables TT (α =.903) and FCFinal (α =.903), a moderate reliability for FC1 (α =.748), low reliability for La5min (α =.667), PSE (α =.663) e T1 (α =.616) and unacceptable reliability for T2 (α =.313) e LaFinal (α =.377). POFT’s total time has shown strong and significant correlations (p<.01) with the general physical fitness field tests (maximum strength, explosive leg strength, muscular endurance, aerobic power and anaerobic power). CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that this test is reliable and valid and therefore can be used to monitor the incumbent police officer’s physical fitness for duty, while also being able to predict their performance in general physical fitness tests.
