Martinez, GJ and Abel, MG. Effect of a law enforcement academy training program on validated fitness outcomes of cadets. J Strength Cond Res 35(4): 955-962, 2021-The purpose of this investigation was to assess the efficacy of a law enforcement training program on physical fitness outcomes in police cadets. A convenience sample of 138 male and 8 female police cadets participated in a 23-week law enforcement training academy with validated fitness assessments conducted at entrance, midpoint, and exit from the academy. Demographic, anthropometric, and fitness data (i.e., 1.5-mile run, 1 repetition maximum bench press, sit-up repetitions, push-up repetitions, and 300-m run) were retrospectively collected. Analysis of variance was used to identify the influence of training on fitness outcomes over time and between cadet subgroup stratifications. Statistical significance for this study was set at p ≤ 0.05. All cadet subgroups (specialty-stratified and sex-stratified cohorts) exceeded the validated fitness standards on academy entrance and exit (p ≤ 0.01). The entire cohort significantly improved all fitness outcomes throughout the training program. Furthermore, improvements in all fitness outcomes were significantly greater from entrance to midpoint (4.4-35.7%, p ≤ 0.001) vs. midpoint to exit (1.2-15.4%, p < 0.05). Specifically, there were greater relative improvements in push-ups and sit-ups (57.5 and 28.7%, respectively; p < 0.001) compared with bench press (13.8%, p < 0.001), 300-m run (5.8%, p < 0.001), and 1.5-mile run (12.1%, p < 0.001). Regarding female cadets, the average relative improvement in fitness outcomes from entrance to exit assessments was superior compared to male counterparts for all fitness tests except sit-ups. Moreover, the specialty cadets produced lower 1.5-mile run times than nonspecialty cadets throughout the academy. Overall, the academy improved occupationally relevant fitness outcomes, with greater improvements occurring earlier in the academy.
马丁内斯，GJ 和艾贝尔，MG。执法学院培训计划对学员体能的影响。J 强能力量研究 35(4):955-962,2021-本研究的目的是评估执法培训计划对警察学员体能的影响。138 名男性和 8 名女性警察学员参加了为期 23 周的执法培训学院，在学院入学、中点和结业时进行了经过验证的体能评估。收集了人口统计学、人体测量学和体能数据（即 1.5 英里跑、1 次最大卧推、仰卧起坐次数、俯卧撑次数和 300 米跑）。方差分析用于确定培训随时间对体能结果的影响，以及学员亚组分层之间的影响。本研究的统计学显著性设定为 p ≤ 0.05。所有学员亚组（专业分层和性别分层队列）在学院入学和结业时都超过了经证实的体能标准（p ≤ 0.01）。整个队列在整个培训计划中显著提高了所有体能成绩。此外，从入学到中点（4.4-35.7%，p ≤ 0.001）与从中点到结业（1.2-15.4%，p <0.05）相比，所有体能成绩的提高都显著更大。具体来说，俯卧撑和仰卧起坐的相对提高幅度更大（分别为 57.5%和 28.7%；p <0.001），而卧推（13.8%；p <0.001）、300 米跑（5.8%；p <0.001）和 1.5 英里跑（12.1%；p <0.001）。对于女性学员，从入学到结业评估，与男性学员相比，除了仰卧起坐外，所有体能测试的体能成绩相对提高幅度都更好。此外，整个学院期间，专业学员的 1.5 英里跑时间都比非专业学员长。总的来说，学院提高了与职业相关的体能成绩，并且在学院早期的提高幅度更大。
