: A rapid intervention team is a broad category of special teams used by police and emergency respondents to cover various needs. It is essential to ensure the safety and well-being of people in emergencies, minimising the risk of harm and maximising the chances of survival. : This study aimed (i) to identify the fitness profiles and levels of POs from the EIR of the Lisbon Metropolitan Command (COMETLIS, PSP, Portugal), considering age classes; (ii) to directly compare the observed fitness profiles to previous research and normative data; and (iii) to compare the fitness profile of POs from the EIR with cadets from the Police Academy. : This cross-sectional observational study included the participation of 121 male POs from the EIR of the Lisbon Metropolitan Command (Portugal) and 92 male cadets from the Police Academy (Lisbon, Portugal). The assessment protocol sequence involved the collection of biosocial data (age classes: ≤29 years; 30-39 years; 40-49 years), a body size assessment, and a fitness assessment (horizontal jump, handgrip strength, 60 s sit-ups and 20 m shuttle run). : (i) In the ≤29 years age class, POs performed better in all fitness tests (highlighting that the age class had a statistically significant effect on performance in the horizontal jump, sit-ups, 20 m shuttle run, and predicted Omax), and they showed significantly better performance than cadets in handgrip (left, right, and sum), and significantly worse performance in sit-ups and predicted Omax. (ii) In the 30-39 years age class, POs had significantly worse performance than cadets in the horizontal jump, sit-ups, 20 m shuttle run, and predicted Omax, even after controlling for age. : (i) The fitness performance decreased as the age class became older; (ii) the handgrip strength and cardiovascular capacity attributes were between the standard and excellent levels according to the ACSM guidelines for the general population; (iii) POs from the EIR were stronger than cadets in terms of handgrip strength but weaker in terms of lower limb power, abdominal muscular endurance, and aerobic capacity; and (iv) the differences observed between POs from the EIR and cadets in the 30-39 years age class emphasise the importance of physical training after the training period and throughout professional life.
快速干预小组是警察和应急响应人员使用的一类广泛的特殊小组，用于满足各种需求。在紧急情况下确保人员的安全和福祉，将伤害风险降至最低并最大限度地提高生存几率至关重要。
（i）根据年龄类别，确定葡萄牙里斯本大都会指挥部（COMETLIS，PSP）应急干预小组警察的体能特征和水平；（ii）将观察到的体能特征与先前的研究和标准数据进行直接比较；（iii）比较应急干预小组警察与警察学院学员的体能特征。
这项横断面观察性研究纳入了葡萄牙里斯本大都会指挥部应急干预小组的121名男性警察和警察学院（葡萄牙里斯本）的92名男性学员。评估方案顺序包括收集生物社会数据（年龄类别：≤29岁；30 - 39岁；40 - 49岁）、身体尺寸评估和体能评估（立定跳远、握力、60秒仰卧起坐和20米往返跑）。
（i）在≤29岁年龄组中，警察在所有体能测试中表现更好（突出表明该年龄组对立定跳远、仰卧起坐、20米往返跑和预测最大摄氧量的表现有统计学显著影响），并且他们在握力（左手、右手和总和）方面的表现明显优于学员，而在仰卧起坐和预测最大摄氧量方面的表现明显更差。（ii）在30 - 39岁年龄组中，即使在控制年龄后，警察在立定跳远、仰卧起坐、20米往返跑和预测最大摄氧量方面的表现也明显比学员差。
（i）体能表现随着年龄组变老而下降；（ii）根据美国运动医学会针对一般人群的指南，握力和心血管能力属性处于标准和优秀水平之间；（iii）应急干预小组的警察在握力方面比学员更强，但在下肢力量、腹部肌肉耐力和有氧能力方面较弱；（iv）在30 - 39岁年龄组中，应急干预小组警察与学员之间观察到的差异强调了训练期后及整个职业生涯中体育训练的重要性。
