Optimizing the Training Outcomes of Law Enforcement Recruits Though Provision of an Evidence-Based Physical Training Approach.
The aim of this program of research is to optimize the training outcomes of Law Enforcement recruits though provision of an evidence-based physical training approach. Given the concerns raised in regard to a diminishing pool of available recruits entering law enforcement, lower levels of fitness of those entering (which increases injury and attrition risk), unstandardised and non-individualised physical training approaches, there is an extreme need for optimised, efficient, and evidence - based physical training programs to be develop that, not only prepare United States Law Enforcement academy recruits for the physical demands of the role, but also ensures that recruits complete training safely to enter service as LE officers.
