About

Police work is extreme in terms of the physical activity and physical exertion spectrum as it is composed of a mixture of enforced sitting and sudden physical exertion. Police officers remain sitting for the majority of their working hours. In theory, regular physical activity exerts a number of health and fitness benefits that could act on most issues that police officers suffer from. Supra high-intensity interval training (supra HIIT) appears to be a perfect solution for police officers as the training modality can be accomplished in less than 5 minutes. The primary purpose of this proposal is to create and assess supra HIIT program that is suitable for police officers and then to assess feasibility of such exercise program in a small pilot study.
