“…Other authors propose an agreement between the athlete-trainer on goals and the selection of exercises to fit the athlete’s needs, motivations, and abilities ( Wackerhage and Schoenfeld, 2021 ). Some results have shown more outstanding fitness scores and affective responses when participants self-selected exercise conditions ( Parfitt et al, 2006 ) or when designing their exercise program based on their previous knowledge instead of following a standardized exercise program ( Papadakis et al, 2021 ).…”

Universal exercise recommendations for adults neglect individual preferences, changing constraints, and their potential impact on associated health benefits. A recent proposal suggests replacing the standardized World Health Organisation (WHO) exercise recommendations for healthy adults by co-designed interventions where individuals participate actively in the decisions about the selected physical activities and the effort regulation. This study contrasts the effects on mental health and interoceptive awareness of a co-designed and co-adapted exercise intervention with an exercise program based on the WHO recommendations for healthy adults. Twenty healthy adults (10 men and 10 women, 40–55 y.o.) participated voluntarily in the research. They were randomly assigned to a co-designed exercise intervention (CoD group) and a prescribed exercise program (WHO group). Supervised online by specialized personal trainers, both programs lasted 9 weeks and were equivalent in volume and intensity. The effects of the exercise intervention were tested through personal interviews, questionnaires (DASS-21 and MAIA) and a cardiorespiratory exercise test. Intragroup differences (pre-post) were assessed using the Mann-Whitney Wilcoxon test and intergroup differences through Student’s t-tests. Effect sizes were calculated through Cohen’s d. Interviews were analyzed through thematic analysis. Eleven participants completed the intervention (CoD = 8, WHO = 5). Both groups improved, but non significantly, their cardiorespiratory testing results, and no differences were found between them post-intervention. Mental health was only enhanced in the CoD group (p < 0.001), and interoceptive awareness improved in seven of the eight scales in the CoD group (p < 0.001) and only in 3 scales in the WHO group (p < 0.01). In conclusion, the co-designed intervention was more effective for developing mental health, interoceptive awareness, autonomy, and exercise self-regulation than the WHO-based exercise program.

“…In such situations, possibility for officers to use firearms it is often hindered or unfeasible, which once again confirms the relevance of confident mastery of unarmed self-defense techniques and hand-to-hand combat as a necessary condition for successful completion of the tasks. To address this issue, it is necessary to improve the content of training of police officers in terms of the formation of abilities and skills to use combat techniques [25].…”

Purpose: to analyze the influence of Hand-to-Hand Combat on functional fitness of cadets of a higher educational establishment of the national police of Ukraine. Materials and Methods. The study involved 125 Cadets at Higher Educational Establishments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Research methods: methods of theoretical level of research; empirical research methods: pedagogical observation, pedagogical experiment; chest rheography (to determine functional state of the cardiovascular system); assessment of anaerobic performance according to the Wingate test and physical performance according to the PWC170 test; methods of mathematical statistics. Results: the service and combat activities of police officers in modern social and political environment in Ukraine set high demands to functional capabilities of the body. Hand-to-hand combat can have a significant impact on professional and psychophysiological fitness of personnel for effective actions to apprehend and detain a criminal, as well as under conditions of limited space. Hand-to-hand combat is an effective sport for quality formation of the process of training cadets of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as evidenced by improvement of all indicators of cadets of the experimental group, namely: heart rate variability, anaerobic and aerobic mechanisms of motor activity. Conclusions: for the first time, data on HRV, the Wingate test and physical performance of cadets of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were obtained. The changes of these indicators under the influence of Hand-to-Hand Combat classes in annual dynamics have been presented. Positive influence of Hand-to-Hand Combat classes on functional state of cadets has been established, which contributes to increase of the efficiency of their professional activities in future. At the end of the study, cadets of the experimental group had significantly better indicators of functional fitness than the cadets of the control group. The obtained results proved that the developed training program based on the application of Hand-to-Hand Combat is effective and proves expediency of its application in practice.

“…Linear speed and change of direction speed (CODS) are essential attributes for officers to maintain both personal and public safety (Canetti et al, 2021). The Illinois Agility Test (IAT) and the 300-yard shuttle run are frequently used to measure fitness among police cadets because they mimic a sustained pursuit requiring frequent direction changes (Maupin et al, 2018;Orr et al, 2019;Papadakis et al, 2021). While the IAT simulates a suspect pursuit scenario that requires brief periods of acceleration, deceleration, and CODS over short distances (Post et al, 2022), the 300-yard shuttle run measures similar abilities over a greater distance.…”

Background. Law enforcement officers may experience unique physical demands while on duty, including pursuing a suspect on foot, clearing obstacles, rapidly moving between covers, and engaging in physical confrontations with violent offenders. Several different change of direction speed (CODS) assessments are routinely used to simulate these demands. However, the relationship between these assessments has not been fully explored. Thus, this study investigated the association of shorter and longer distance sprint running with CODS performance. Methods. 15 police students ran the 20-m sprint test, 300-yard shuttle run, and Illinois Agility Test (IAT). Correlation and regression analyses were used to investigate associations. The effect size analysis provided the magnitude of associations. Results. Correlation analysis determined moderate association between 0-10 m, 10-20 m, and 0-20 m sprint performance with the IAT. The regression analysis determined strong linear association of IAT with sprint 0-10 m (R 2 = 0.488, F = 12.385, p = 0.004), sprint 10-20 m (R 2 = 0.496, F = 12.775, p = 0.003), sprint 0-20 m (R 2 = 0.573, F = 17.468, p = 0.001), and no linear association with the 300-yard shuttle run. Conclusions. The current study found a significant positive association between short sprints and IAT performance, suggesting that linear sprinting speed determines a significant proportion of CODS performance. Therefore, police students and officers should include sprint training in their physical fitness routine.
