Abstract

➢ Although the daily tasks of police officers are mostly sedentary, optimal body composition and physical abilities are important for the occasional high intensity task duties that may occur and for general health.
➢ The question of body composition and its manifestation in the form of obesity is a frequent subject in all segments of society and among different occupations (Lukaski, 2017). As such, it is also present in law enforcement, firefighters and military personnel (Daves et al., 2016; Michaelidis et al. 2011; Friedel, 2012). Apart from proven negative health effects, a sub-optimal body composition can also directly affect the successful job performance of a modern policeman (Daves et al., 2016).
➢ The main goal of this research was to determine the effects of a 12-week intervention of physical training and a caloric deficit in the controlled conditions of the police campus. The leading hypothesis of this research was that, under the influence of planned physical training and a recommended caloric deficit, it was possible to significantly affect the loss of body fat while maintaining and improving the relative values of skeletal muscle mass.
