A number of research studies have indicated a wide variation in the physical fitness of law enforcement recruits prior to academy training. This paper provides a literature review regarding current training practices, and the associated limitations, specific to recruits during academy.Collectively, this information indicates the need for ability-based, individualized training for recruits during academy, which is not always the model adopted for a variety of reasons. Practical applications relative to this analysis, in addition to examples for aerobic/anaerobic conditioning and resistance training programs, are presented. These programs feature exercises that that are modifiable depending on the fitness of recruits.

“…High-impact activity both from combat training and drills and carrying heavy loads may also increase stress on the knee joint in this population [34]. On this basis, the reconditioning program for the injured site needs to consider the overall training load that the soldier is subject to [35], noting that some of these loads will come from the soldier's general military training and work requirements [36].…”

Sports participation in the military is important for physical fitness and building morale and camaraderie. However, injuries caused by sports are detrimental to military capability. The purpose of this study was to investigate patterns of injury from sports participation in Australian Regular Army personnel. Injury data spanning a two-year period were obtained from the Department of Defence Workplace Health, Safety, Compensation, and Reporting (WHSCAR) database. Data were extracted for the top five sporting activities causing injuries. The most common body sites, natures, and mechanisms of injuries across these five sports were then determined. Sports participation accounted for 11% (n = 1092) of reported injuries (n = 9828). Soccer presented with the greatest number of injuries (23.3%), followed by rugby union/league (22.9%), touch football (18.6%), Australian rules football (12.0%), and basketball/netball (11.9%). The ankle, knee, and shoulder were the most injured body sites (21.9%; 17.2%; 11.6% respectively) across these five sports, with soft tissue injury, dislocation, and fractures being the most common natures of injury (55.1%; 12.7%; 11.9% respectively). The most common mechanisms of injuries were contact with objects (35.1%) and falls (27.4%). The current injury rates, locations, and mechanisms are similar to historical rates suggesting little impact by injury mitigation strategies.

“…Copp et al, found military personnel skipped breakfast [42], and Rahmani et al, reported an inverse association between healthy eating and odds of depression and anxiety [56]. Based on the available evidence, while overall energy and carbohydrate intake appears to be suboptimal, further exploration on the freeliving type and timing of dietary energy and carbohydrate intake in tactical occupations is warranted [2].…”

“…Optimizing dietary recommendations, and subsequent intake, to support health, well-being and performance is important for tactical personnel [1]. Tactical occupations, including military, law enforcement, and fire and rescue emergency services (SES) [2], have many important dietary considerations and challenges. Several studies have reported sedentary behaviors, chronic disease risk, and obesity rates similar to, or higher than, those seen at a population level [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

Free-Living Dietary Intake in Tactical Personnel and Implications for Nutrition Practice: A Systematic Review

Tactical personnel (including military, law enforcement, and fire and rescue) are responsible for ensuring national and public safety. Dietary intake is an important consideration to support optimal health and performance. The aims of this systematic review were to: (1) describe the reported free-living dietary intake (energy and macronutrients) of tactical personnel, and (2) describe the practical implications of reported dietary intakes to support the physical and dietary requirements of tactical personnel. A systematic search of databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and Web of Science) was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. English and full text research articles were identified and screened against inclusion and exclusion criteria. Demographic and dietary intake data were extracted, tabulated, and synthesized narratively. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Quality Criteria Checklist. Twenty-two studies (15 military, 4 law enforcement, and 2 fire and rescue) were eligible to inform this review. The volume of evidence suggested that tactical personnel met dietary protein and exceeded dietary fat recommendations but failed to meet energy and carbohydrate recommendations. Therefore, practical approaches to support optimized energy, fat and carbohydrate intake in tactical personnel is important.
