The aim of the present study was to determine the physical activity levels of active duty police officers and police academy cadets in different life domains and intensities. These parameters were treated as potential quantifiers that could be used when assessing individuals preparing for work as future police officers.
The study recruited 153 active police officers and 176 cadets attending a police academy and administered a diagnostic survey, the long-form version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, while in the statistical analysis the Student's t-test for independent groups was applied.
It was determined that police officers present high physical activity levels within the work domain, which are developed from initial training at a police academy and then throughout their police career.
Such data are important in the light of the role police officers play in public safety as well as the prominence of physical activity within a particular profession and how it can be targeted and tailored to their needs.
本研究旨在确定现役警官和警察学院学员在不同生活领域和强度下的身体活动水平。这些参数被视为潜在的量化指标，可用于评估未来准备从事警察工作的人员。
该研究招募了153名现役警官和176名警察学院学员，并进行了一项诊断性调查，即国际体力活动问卷的长版。在统计分析中，应用了独立组的学生t检验。
确定警官们在工作领域内呈现出较高的身体活动水平，这是从警察学院的初始培训开始，然后在整个警察职业生涯中逐渐形成的。
鉴于警官在公共安全中所起的作用，以及特定职业中身体活动的重要性，以及如何根据他们的需求进行有针对性的调整，这些数据非常重要。
