Avaliação do desempenho operacional de policiais militares em função da prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade

Abstract

To perform successfully as constitutional duties, the professional Military Policeman requires good physical conditioning, as the performance of duties requires the use, for long hours, of personal safety equipment such as ballistic vest, war material (weapons, porters) and uniforms, vehicle embarkations and disembarkations, incursions into slopes and refusals and decision captures in a short period of time and in situations of high stress. In this context, this study sought to assess the correlation between the percentage of body fat and the operational performance of military police officers stationed in the city of São José da Coroa Grande, 10 ° CIPM, PE. A sample consisted of 8 military police officers. The protocol used to collect measurements was the Jackson and Pollock 3-fold protocol. The results showed that there is a significant and inversely proportional correlation (rhoP ears on= - 0.62; p≤0,1), which allows us to suggest that a nonpercent linear increase in fat mass in the participants of this research may cause lesser operational performance. Thus, this study can contribute to professionals and those responsible for public safety management, it can understand the importance of a professional with the percentage of fat in the levels, the levels of extreme importance for a better professional performance and consequently the safety of all.
