“…We use the morphological index in Table 1 to show that long-distance running exhausts most of the muscles and loses weight, and reduces the upper body circumference accordingly. 7 This shows that long-distance running can help avoid body fat, rapid body growth, etc.…”

Introduction: Nowadays, physical activities have become an important way for people to improve their physical fitness. Running is considered to be an exercise option with low investment, low consumption, and no space restrictions. It can play a role in physical fitness, entertainment, and communication. Objective: Analyze the impact of running activities on athletes’ physical fitness. Methods: Volunteer athletes were randomly divided into two groups (experimental and control groups). The experimental group performed running activities for eight weeks while the control group did not participate in running. Key physiological and biochemical indicators such as height, weight, blood pressure, blood lipids, etc. were recorded. The data were collected and processed according to the mathematical statistics method to analyze the data. Results: There is no significant difference in height after the experiment (P>0.05). The value of body weight curve was changed after the increment of running exercise (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in bust size between the two tests (P>0.05). Waist circumference, hip circumference and upper limb circumference were significantly different after the test (P<0.05). The subjects’ blood pressure and heart rate before and after the test were significantly different, proportional to the changes in mean vital capacity (P<0.01). Conclusion: Long-term running training impacts athletes’ physical and mental health. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

“…A avaliação da resistência aeróbia ocorreu com a aplicação do teste de Cooper (9,(18)(19)(20). O avaliado percorreu, em pista plana e demarcada, a maior distância possível em 12 minutos (min), sendo contabilizadas as voltas e metragem ao final do teste (7). O VO2máx foi obtido com a aplicação da seguinte equação: VO2= (distância (metros) -504)/45 ml/kg/min (9,(18)(19)(20).…”

“…diminuindo a taxa de absenteísmo entre policiais (5). Além disso, reduz o risco de morte dos envolvidos em operações policiais (4,6,7). Assim sendo, as capacidades físicas de aptidão cardiorrespiratória, força muscular localizada e velocidade de deslocamento, são primordiais para a realização do trabalho policial.…”

Introdução: A elevada aptidão física é fundamental para o melhor desempenho dos policiais nas atividades laborais e na qualidade do serviço prestado à segurança pública e à sociedade. Objetivo: Analisar o perfil de aptidão física dos policiais militares de ambos os sexos, formandos da Escola Superior de Sargentos da Polícia Militar do Estado de São Paulo (PMESP). Métodos: Estudo observacional, transversal e descritivo, com dados retrospectivos obtidos do Teste de Aptidão Física (TAF) de 1.634 formandos (93,45% homens). Os dados foram classificados segundo sexo e idade. Foram apresentadas estatísticas descritivas. Resultados: As médias apresentadas pelos formandos foram: 42±4,61 repetições abdominais estilo remador; 7,37±0,54 segundos no teste de velocidade em deslocamento; e 2.502±255 metros no teste de Cooper. A média do VO2max entre os formandos foi de 44,4±5,66 ml/kg/min e nas formandas 35,1±4,66 ml/kg/min. A aptidão cardiorrespiratória foi classificada entre boa a excelente para 97,7% dos formandos e 71% das formandas. A força de resistência abdominal localizada mostrou-se entre boa e excelente para 91,6% dos formandos e 51,4% das formandas. Conclusão: Os formandos do Curso de Formação de Sargentos da PMESP apresentaram aptidão física classificada entre boa e excelente. Este resultado indica que o programa de treinamento físico aplicado nas aulas é adequado para manter a condição física esperada.

“…However, this large organic activation is not perceived by the soldiers, since they reported low levels in the Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) [9][10][11][12], probably due to decreased information processing and central nervous system fatigue [1,2,13,14]. This situation is very stressful, negatively affecting the psychophysiological response and working memory of the soldiers [15,16]. In this line, other research conducted on tactical parachute jumps showed increased cortisol, heart rate, fine motor skills, sympathetic modulation, and leg strength, and decreased somatic anxiety after the jump [7], modifications that affect the psychophysiological response in posterior combat, increasing heart rate and decreasing fine motor skills [17].…”

New Training Program for the New Requirements of Combat of Tactical Athletes

Actual theaters of operations are complex contexts where soldiers must face different situations, such as symmetrical, asymmetrical, or close quarter combat. The requirements of the actual battlefield are different to the traditional conditioning military training. This new changing scenario produces an activation of the innate fight or flight defense mechanisms with large activations of the anaerobic metabolic pathways and the sympathetic autonomic nervous system. In these scenarios, the anaerobic, aerobic, and strength demands are so specific and the time to improve all training demands in the units is limited. We propose a new training periodization for the military population based on the latest research into the psychophysiological response of soldiers in actual theaters of operations (actual military missions) and actual civilian models of training and periodization to develop a specific, easy, and reliable periodization model for actual tactical athletes. This training intervention was developed in order to improve operational training according to the demands of actual theaters of operations, based on recent research in military and civilian populations. We tried to conduct a proposal that is easy to apply, with minimal use of material different to what could be found in a military base and that could be implemented in a short period of time.
