Abstract Marins, EF, Cabistany, L, Farias, CB, Dawes, J, and Del Vecchio, FB. Effects of personal protective equipment on metabolism performance during an Occupational Physical Ability Test for Federal Highway Police officers. J Strength Cond Res 34(4): 1093–1102, 2020—Federal (FHP) officers perform their duties while wearing (PPE). Given the need to wear PPE, it is important understand effects this additional load can have occupational performance. The objective study was evaluate carriage...
Abstract The present study aimed at determining the test–retest reliability of commonly used measures in a sample middle-aged and older participants who presented with wide range functional abilities. Participants were (40–55 years) adults (> 60 with- without mobility limitations, tested both before after 4-week period (n = 43). Measures included maximal dynamic (1-RM) isometric strength, surface EMG (sEMG), peak power, ultrasound-derived muscle size quality, as well performance on 30-s...
Police institutions often use Occupational Physical Ability Tests (OPATs) as a measure of occupational performance. These tests are utilized to mimic the daily and essential tasks performed by police officers, but few with load carriage (LC). The purpose this study was examine physical performance predictors an OPAT without (NPPE) (WPPE) LC.Thirteen federal highway officers (age: 36.8±3.7 years, body mass: 89±10.7 kg, height: 180±5.6 cm) volunteered complete battery fitness (aerobic power...
There is limited research examining the physical tasks that Brazilian special policemen groups can perform in line of duty. The aims this study were to (a) identify occupational specialist police personnel serving Rapid Response Group (GRR) and Tactical Operations Command (COT), profile frequency, difficulty, importance these tasks, (b) explore current training operations units (SOPUs) officers undertake maintain their operational fitness. Univariate analysis for numerical variables (mean...

AbstractAbstractThis study aimed to identify the most important, frequently performed, and physically demanding tasks performed by Brazilian firefighters that could be used assess physical fitness. A subjective task analysis was conducted. Five hundred twenty-four (84% male; 16% females) responded an online survey rated 37 across three domains (most frequent, demanding). dichotomous decision inform proposed fitness tests. Wildland firefighting presented highest overall mean rate. Traffic...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Higher levels of physical fitness are associated with better quality life and indicators health performance in police forces. Objective: This study aims to describe evaluate the level cardiorespiratory neuromuscular a national sample federal highway patrol officers. Methods: Cross-sectional data from 6212 agents Federal Highway Police. Endpoints were as follows: abdominal resistance (AR); upper limb muscular (ULMR); muscle strength (ULMS) (CF). The following...
Police officers are exposed to specific occupational tasks, which require lifting, trunk flexion and rotation, carrying weight, frequent standing periods, may be associated with an increased risk of experiencing low back pain (LBP).To describe the prevalence intensity chronic LBP (CLBP) in Brazilian Federal Highway (FHPO) from Rio Grande do Sul state evaluate its factors.A total 208 FHPOs participated this study. The participants answered electronic questionnaire containing sociodemographic,...
Police activity exposes the workers to several conditions that can cause physical and mental health problems, leading sickness absenteeism.
Abstract Background To assess the incidence of suicides among Brazilian Federal Highway Police Officers (FHPO) between 2001 and 2020, as well to describe their sociodemographic occupational profile. Methods A retrospective study analyzed all FHPO states 2020 based on personalized police record files. Results The average suicide rate was 18.7/100,000 persons per year. total 35 were identified, which 33 (91.4%) by firearm. Most who died male (94.3%), under age 40 (62.9%), working for 10 or...
Abstract Background Low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of years lived with disability worldwide. Public safety workers are highly exposed to physically demanding activities and inappropriate postures, increasing risk experiencing LBP. Smartphone app-based self-managed interventions may be an alternative for chronic non-specific LBP (CNSLBP) treatment. This study aims evaluate effectiveness a smartphone exercise program plus health education, compared education alone, on neuromuscular...

The aging process is related to impairments in several biological systems, such as the neuromuscular system. Of concern, considerable reductions strength and power output are observed after sixth decade of life, which strongly declines functional capacity. High-velocity resistance training (HVRT) an alternative counteract these elderly population. PURPOSE: To compare mean peak adaptations twelve weeks HVRT. METHODS: Thirteen older adults (69.4 ± 6.2 years; 71.5 16.0 kg; 161.8 8.9 cm) were...
