The image of the New York Police Department is that of strength, of discipline, of unity, and of protection.

studied the effects of about 100 police officers in a large metropolitan police department who have gone through the progressions of becoming police officers to veterans, and whether they have made any changes since then. Boyce notes that as officers have become more experienced, they typically have gone lax in fitness programs. In other words, as police officers begin to have years on their belt, they are exercising less. As these officers were recruits, they were constantly supervised as to their training and dieting habits. Having exercise classes, body fat measurements, and constant follow ups on their overall health shows that newly recruited officers are in better shape than their older counterparts, but again, part of the reason for that is the constant supervision given by supervisory officers while they are young. Part of the reasoning for this phenomenon could be as police officers become veterans in their field, and tenure begins to come into play, officer’s ability to feel motivated to continue to exercise may dwindle.
Body mass index and the prevalence of hypertension and dyslipidemia
Brown et al. we’re studying how body mass index can show the prevalence of hypertension and dyslipidemia. They wanted to find out whether younger or older age groups are more likely seen or shown among them. A national survey was taken with a variety of considerations. The considerations were as follows: Education, race, and substance use, such as cigarettes. The results …show more content…
study was not directly about police officers, but the study can shed some light as to the effects of even light workouts amongst senior members, and the time muscles take among older gentlemen to degrade. Although among senior members of the community did have minor increases in a variety of statistics, such as strength, mobility, and power, all gains were lost after only four months of inactivity. In other words, 6 months of workout for it only to b gone in less than 4 months. Overall, Higher intensity training protocols induce greater gains in strength, anaerobic power, and whole body physical function of older men. Moreover, higher intensity training may maintain the gains for more prolonged periods after training
