Resumen
Objetivo: analizar la aptitud física (ApF) y la composición corporal (CoC) de policías militares en la modalidad de radiopatrulla en el estado de São Paulo y establecer los respectivos valores percentiles por diferentes grupos de edad. Método: Se trata de un estudio transversal retrospectivo con datos del Physical Fitness Test (TAF) de 472 policías militares del sexo masculino con edades entre 22 y 49 años y distribuidos en tres grupos de edad: 20-29(G1), 30-39(G2) y 40-49(G3) años. Resultados: El grupo de mayor edad siempre mostró diferencias significativas con respecto a uno de los grupos más jóvenes en las medidas de circunferencia de cintura, masa corporal e índice de masa corporal. En la capacidad aeróbica, capacidad anaeróbica, resistencia muscular y fuerza muscular (FMfs), las diferencias son significativas a medida que aumenta la edad. Se describieron los datos percentiles de la prueba ApF por grupo y, como era de esperar, mostraron una disminución con la edad. Conclusión: Los policías de este estudio mostraron un aumento evidente de la grasa abdominal y de la masa corporal en el grupo de mayores de 40 años y una disminución significativa en las pruebas de aptitud física con el avance de la edad.
