Lower levels of fitness are associated with an increased risk of injury in police recruits. The aim of this study was to determine the relationships between initial aerobic performance assessments and injury risk during police recruit training. Retrospective data from 219 police recruits undergoing training program at a state police training academy, including 20-m Multistage Fitness Test (MSFT) and 30-15 Intermittent Fitness Test (IFT) scores and injury data, were collected. Spearman's correlation analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between levels of fitness (MSFT rs = - 0.292, < 0.001: 30-15 IFT rs=-0.315, < 0.001) and rates of injury. Furthermore, a Pearson's correlation showed a strong correlation between MSFT and the 30-15 IFT scores (r = 0.877, < 0.001). Police recruits with lower fitness were at a higher risk of injury than those with higher fitness over the duration of a recruit training program. These findings indicate that aerobic performance assessments may be used by law enforcement agencies to estimate the relative risks of injury among cadets.
体能水平较低与警察学员受伤风险增加有关。本研究的目的是确定警察学员培训期间初始有氧性能评估与受伤风险之间的关系。收集了来自一所州警察培训学院219名接受培训项目的警察学员的回顾性数据，包括20米多级体能测试（MSFT）和30-15间歇体能测试（IFT）分数以及受伤数据。斯皮尔曼相关性分析显示，体能水平（MSFT rs = - 0.292，P < 0.001；30-15 IFT rs = - 0.315，P < 0.001）与受伤率之间存在显著负相关。此外，皮尔逊相关性显示MSFT与30-15 IFT分数之间存在强相关性（r = 0.877，P < 0.001）。在学员培训项目期间，体能较低的警察学员比体能较高的学员受伤风险更高。这些发现表明，执法机构可以使用有氧性能评估来估计学员受伤的相对风险。
