Abstract
This article sought to assess and correlate the levels of cardiovascular risks (CR) and physical fitness (PA) of military police officers in the city of Anápolis, Goiás. The sample included 40 male police officers. CR, blood pressure, waist circumference, BMI were evaluated. For PA, VO2MAX, muscle strength, flexibility and muscle endurance were evaluated. The results showed for PAD 62.5% were classified in normal levels; in the CER, 70% have health risks; in VO2MÁX, that 55% were at a regular level. As for the results for PA, most are classified as “excellent” with 85% in flexibility; 87.5% strength; and 67.5%, resistance. There was a correlation between the VO2MÁX variable and the strength variable, in which those who obtained better VO2MÁX had higher strength indices and the BMI variable with the resistance variable, in which, the higher the BMI, the lower the individual's resistance. It was concluded that the majority of police officers had cardiovascular risks and an excellent classification for physical fitness. A correlation found was that those who have a higher strength index had a higher VO2Max and those with a BMI with better indexes had better muscle resistance indexes.
