Military Policemen and Firemen are professionals often involved in life-risking activities as well as duties demanding endurance and muscular strength. Nevertheless, their working conditions are rarely satisfactory.
To compare levels of physical activity and social, demographic and occupational factors between military policemen and firemen; factors that may impact their ability to efficiently and effectively accomplish their jobs.
This cross-sectional study was performed in Brazil with 127 local military personnel (67 policemen and 60 firemen). A sociodemographic questionnaire was applied together with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), short version.
It was observed that the firemen participating in this study are 4 times more likely to be inactive than the policemen. However, policemen showed higher sociodemographic risk factors (less schooling and the higher number of children and workplaces) to work performance when compared to military firemen.
It could be inferred that in relation to the firemen, policemen suffer from less favorable sociodemographic conditions and face major risk situations more frequently once they are directly involved with the public security of the States; on the other hand, both populations should be incentivized and offered systematized physical activity programs in their workplaces.
宪兵和消防员是经常参与危及生命活动以及需要耐力和体力的工作的专业人员。然而，他们的工作条件很少令人满意。
比较宪兵和消防员之间的身体活动水平以及社会、人口和职业因素；这些因素可能会影响他们高效有效地完成工作的能力。
这项横断面研究在巴西对127名当地军事人员（67名宪兵和60名消防员）进行。应用了一份社会人口学问卷以及国际身体活动问卷（IPAQ）简版。
观察到参与本研究的消防员不活动的可能性是宪兵的4倍。然而，与消防队员相比，宪兵在工作表现方面表现出更高的社会人口学风险因素（受教育程度较低、子女和工作场所数量较多）。
可以推断，与消防员相比，宪兵的社会人口学条件较差，并且一旦直接参与国家的公共安全工作，他们更频繁地面临重大风险情况；另一方面，这两类人群都应该在工作场所得到激励并提供系统化的体育活动项目。
