Impact of Musculoskeletal Injury in Students of Police Academy a Cohort Study

Question: Officers working in operating activities (in the streets) are more exposed to injury when compared to officers who perform non-operational activities (administration or civilians)? Design: Prospective cohort study. Participants: Two hundred and twenty cadets of the Police Academy. Intervention: The officers were separated into an exposed group called the operational (activities in the streets) and other not exposed group called not operational (administration or civilians). Both were followed for one year. Outcome measures: Several risk factors for the appearance of lesions were collected, among them, the anthropometric data, aerobic strength and individual history. Several risk factors for the appearance of lesions were collected, among them, the anthropometric data, aerobic strength and individual history. The individual history through a self-administered questionnaire, the aerobic through the cooper test resistance and anthropometric data through cutaneous folds and body mass index. Results: Perform operating activities is not a risk factor for injuries in police. Factors such as aerobic endurance (p = 0.894) and being overweight (p = 0.165) are not associated with the emergence of injuries in police. Age and working time the police are factors associated with the onset of injury. The incidence of injury was 20.2%, consistent with findings in the literature. Conclusion: The work is the first cohort of Brazil with police. The location of the lesions and the incidence are consistent with international results. The officers working on the streets have no more injuries compared those working in administrative functions or are civilians. There need to control the training loads.

COMPARAÇÃO ENTRE DOIS MODELOS DE PERIODIZAÇÃO DO TREINAMENTO NA APTIDÃO FÍSICA DE POLICIAIS MILITARES

A aptidao fisica e um dos aspectos mais exigidos durante a formacao do policial militar, e em seu cotidiano na atividade de policia ostensiva e preservacao da ordem publica. E portanto de vital importância para formar estes profissionais que se utilize metodos tecnico-cientificos e eficazes de treinamento fisico. Para tanto o estudo se propos a aplicar em dois grupos do 1o ano do Bacharelado em Ciencias Policiais de Seguranca e Ordem Publica, dois modelos distintos de periodizacao, denominados de “BRTAF A” e “BRTAF B”. Ao final foram avaliados por um Teste de Aptidao Fisica. Concluiu-se que os dois modelos de periodizacao foram eficazes, porem, o modelo “BRTAF A” tende a ser mais eficaz, visto que proporcionou uma melhor homogeneidade entre os individuos, alem de melhorar mais significativamente em testes de resistencia muscular localizada.
