Abstract: Introduction: Studies of sedentary behavior in the workplace, where conditions represent a health risk, mainly involving levels of physical activity and health of police officers, have increased in several countries around the world. Objective The objective of this study was to compare the physical activity levels, sedentary behavior and health risks of military police officers involved in overt and specialized patrolling. Methods: A total of 146 military police officers involved in overt and specialized patr… Show more

“…Higher values of average body height were recorded only among Russian police officers (182.84 cm), while Croatian (181.57 cm) and American Police officers (180.02 cm) were almost as tall as Montenegrin Police officers (Jozic & Zecic, 2017;Dawes et al, 2019;Heinrich et al, 2020). On the other hand, the height of the Police officers of Brazil (176 cm), Korea (174 cm), United Arab Emirates (173.8 cm), Serbia (172.98 cm) and India (172.6 cm) is significantly lower (Thayyil et al, 2012;Kukic & Dopsaj, 2016;Kukic et al, 2018;Kim et al, 2020;Ferraz et al, 2020). However, there is a justified hypothesis that the secular trend in the Montenegrin population is still ongoing, and that the population in the Dinaric Alps (including Montenegrin population) has not yet reached its full genetic potential, because in recent decades it has been under the influence of negative factors (wars, bad economic situation, etc.)…”

“…Sedentary time is associated with a higher body mass index and waist circumference ( 5 ) and several other markers of cardiometabolic risk ( 4 , 5 ). Adverse health outcomes in police officers are directly related to a high amount of time spent in sedentary activities during their work ( 2 , 3 ). Thus, the challenge is to promote lifestyle changes in these workers to reduce their sedentary time and increase their light to moderate physical activities ( 15 ).…”

“…It has been demonstrated recently that police officers present a higher prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors such as overweight and obesity than the general population, which seems to be associated with longer sedentary time ( 2 , 3 ). In contrast, a small reduction in sedentary time (∼30 min/day reduction) might help mitigate adverse health outcomes from sedentary occupational tasks ( 4 ).…”
