The effects of a 6-month mandatory military police academy training on recruits' physical fitness

CONCLUSIONS: Police recruits that had passed the application fitness standards maintained their HRPF prior to academy, and all their HRPF parameters increased after a 6-month academy training period which was not primarily focused on exercise training. Among all components of HRPF, CRF appears to be the most challenging one to improve among police recruits. Our findings suggest that regular training with minimum physical standards could be potentially beneficial to police officers' health and career longevity.PMID:36093659 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-210031
