초록

PURPOSE: Maintaining physical fitness is essential for police officers to perform various physical occupational tasks. However, only a few studies have focused on the physical fitness of Korean police officers. The purpose of this study was to perform a comparative analysis of the annual results of physical fitness tests for Korean police officers between 2014 to 2019. METHODS: This study analyzed the data of 372 police officers (male: 334, female: 38) including body composition, 100 m sprint, pushups, sit-ups, and handgrip strength. RESULTS: In Korean male police officers, the 100 m sprint times and push-up and sit-up counts showed statistically significant differences according to the year of the test (p< 0.001); in particular, the 100 m sprint times and push-up and sit-up counts were lower in 2019 compared to those from previous years. Among Korean female police officers, only the 100 m sprint showed a statistically significant difference by year (p< 0.01); similar to the male police officers, the 100 m sprint times were slower in 2019 than those from previous years. CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that the physical fitness of Korean police officers decreased over the years. There has especially been a decrease in the physical fitness of male police officers.
