Journal ArticleDOI
Physical Fitness Characteristics That Relate to Work Sample Test Battery Performance in Law Enforcement Recruits
Robert G. Lockie,Jay Dawes,Katherine Balfany,Ciara E. Gonzales,Maria M. Beitzel,Joseph Dulla,Robin M. Orr +6 more
TL;DR: To perform better in the WSTB and job-specific tasks, developing upper-body strength and aerobic fitness may be beneficial.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Influence of Physical Fitness on Reasons for Academy Separation in Law Enforcement Recruits
Robert G. Lockie,Katherine Balfany,Ashley M. Bloodgood,Matthew R. Moreno,Karly A. Cesario,Joseph Dulla,Jay Dawes,Robin M. Orr +7 more
TL;DR: Recruits who had superior high-intensity running capacity (75PR) and aerobic fitness (MSFT) should have a better chance of completing academy, however, this could be influenced by training practices adopted during academy.
Journal Article
Validity and Reliability of Surface Electromyography Measurements from a Wearable Athlete Performance System.
TL;DR: Validity results comprise two main findings: there is not a significant effect of system (Athos or research grade system) on the repetition amplitude metrics (95%, peak, or sum), and the relationship between torque and sEMG is not significantly different between Athos and theResearch grade system.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Preliminary Analysis of Relationships Between a 1RM Hexagonal Bar Load and Peak Power with the Tactical Task of a Body Drag
TL;DR: Analysis of relationships between absolute and relative strength measured by a one-repetition maximum hexagonal bar deadlift with recreationally-trained individuals found strength related to all body drags; peak power may be more important for drags with lighter loads.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship Between the 20-m Multistage Fitness Test and 2.4-km Run in Law Enforcement Recruits.
Robert G. Lockie,Jay Dawes,Matthew R. Moreno,Karly A. Cesario,Katherine Balfany,Michael Stierli,Joseph Dulla,Robin M. Orr +7 more
TL;DR: Even with significant relationships between the tests, the 20MSFT induces a higher running intensity and direction changes, which may limit transferability with the 2.4-km run in law enforcement recruits.
