Abstract
PURPOSE: Tactical populations often prescribe a “one size fits all” approach to physical training. This approach applies a similar dose to individuals from a wide range of fitness levels, despite evidence supporting individualised training. This research investigated the relationship between initial fitness levels and change of fitness in a law enforcement recruit class following this approach.
