Study Notes
Fitness Awareness
- Fitness tests for police officers include maximum repetitions, timed performance, heart rate tests, and Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE).
- Training duration varies based on an athlete’s fitness level; untrained individuals have shorter sessions compared to trained athletes.
- Fitter athletes can often reduce rest time between sets and handle more training hours without risking overtraining.
- Two primary types of training: Cardiovascular (speed endurance, strength endurance, aerobic capacity) and Muscular Endurance.
- Copstrong offers tailored training programs to help police officers maintain or develop fitness, accessible via QR code.
- Copstrong sessions integrate into police training curricula, enhancing preparation for physical training exercises.
Designing a Training Plan
- Example training plan spans four weeks, focused on general running performance, cardiovascular capacity, and muscular endurance.
- Weekly frequency set at six units; cardiovascular training typically alternates between hard/easy sessions.
- Suggested durations include 30 minutes for cardiovascular and 40 minutes for muscular endurance.
- Specific activities for cardiovascular training include intervals, long runs, and hill runs; muscular endurance includes weights and circuits.
Nutritional Considerations
- Recommended daily salt intake is 6g to avoid risks such as hypertension, heart disease, and stroke.
- Unhealthy versus healthy food choices emphasize reducing salt with options like low-salt alternatives and incorporating fresh ingredients.
Health Risks: Low Iron & Low Calcium
- Low Iron: Most common anemia type, affecting oxygen transport. Symptoms include tiredness and increased infection risk. At-risk groups include vegetarians, vegans, athletes, and pregnant women.
- Sources of Iron: Haem iron (red meat, liver) is better absorbed than non-haem iron (cereals, vegetables).
- Low Calcium: Contributes to osteoporosis; affects bone density, particularly in women. At-risk groups include female athletes, vegetarians, and those with eating disorders.
- Sources of Calcium: Semi-skimmed milk, cheese, pulses, vegetables, hard water.
Alcohol Consumption
- Alcohol is highly addictive and can cause significant health impacts including liver, heart, stomach, and brain damage.
- While moderate consumption may not lead to long-term damage, alcohol lacks nutritional value, providing only empty calories.
