Abstract(s)
OBJETIVO: O estudo visa (i) avaliar as diferenças entre os sexos e o efeito dos quatro
anos do CFOP na condição física dos cadetes do ISCPSI; (ii) avaliar o efeito da idade na
condição física dos cadetes do ISCPSI; e (iii) construir tabelas normativas de desempenho
nos testes de condição física com referência ao sexo e classes de idade.
MÉTODO: Participaram no estudo 131 cadetes do sexo feminino e 555 cadetes do
sexo masculino, correspondendo a um total de 2578 avaliações da condição física (n = 509,
sexo feminino; n = 2069, sexo masculino). Para este estudo 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 (estatura e massa corporal) e (ii) condição física (baterias de testes em vigor no
CFOP/ISCPSI).
RESULTADOS: Observou-se que (i) o sexo feminino apresenta, por norma,
desempenhos inferiores, nos testes físicos, ao do sexo masculino; (ii) ao longo do curso (T0-
T4) a condição 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 condição
física têm tendência a diminuir (com exceção de preensão manual e força dorso-lombar) para
ambos os sexos. Em complemento, foram contruídas tabelas normativas para cada um dos
sexos, em geral, e com referência a classes de idade (≤ 29 anos e > 29 anos).
CONCLUSÕES: Os resultados sugerem que: (i) o sexo masculino tem melhor
condição física que o sexo feminino; (ii) o CFOP consegue manter, no geral, a condição
física de entrada dos cadetes; (iii) o grupo de idade 20-29 anos representa a idade com melhor
desempenho físico para ambos os sexos; e (iv) os cadetes com idade superior a 29 anos
apresentam, em ambos os sexos, o maior decréscimo no desempenho dos testes de condição
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).
OBJECTIVE: 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. METHODS: A total of 131 female and 555 male cadets participated in the study, corresponding to a total of 2578 fitness assessments (n = 509 female and n = 2069 male). 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 (height and body mass) and (ii) physical condition (batteries of tests in force at Police Academy Course/ Higher Institute of Police Sciences and Homeland Security). RESULTS: 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 (with the exception of handgrip and back and lumbar strength) for both genders. In addition, normative tables were constructed for each sex, in general, and with reference to age classes (≤ 29 years and > 29 years). CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that (i) the male gender has better physical fitness than the female gender; (ii) the Police Academy Course manages to maintain, in general, the cadets' entry physical fitness; (iii) the age group 20-29 years represents the age with the best physical performance for both genders; and (iv) 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).
