Treinamento físico continuado no BOPE: fator contribuinte para o desempenho das atividades especiais

Abstract

This work aims to address the theme about the practice of physical activity in the Special Operations Battalion. In militarism, Military Physical Training (MPT) is of essential importance for military forces, both main and auxiliary, and it is through this activity that security troops maintain good physical conditioning to be able to perform their functions and guarantee the public security. This research aimed to highlight the importance of continuing military physical training allied to the need to carry out periodic physical aptitude tests, establishing a systematized methodological pattern. For this, a questionnaire prepared by the researcher was used, a bioimpedance exam, collect of the waist/hip ratio and calculation of the body mass index. It was concluded that even with the lack of a methodology, the scenario is still quite positive, since the troop presents good individual evaluation numbers, even though there is a physical discrepancy between the operators of the BOPE of the PMMA. The lack of a military police officer trained in the area of physical education available to the battalion, implies the lack of training designed according to the individual physical condition of each operator, which would condition him to a better performance of special activities
