The study was carried out with the following objectives: to verify the practice of physical
exercises and the use of ergogenic resources by military police officers of the 5th CIPM
of Tocantinópolis-TO. The study is characterized as quantitative, descriptive and cross-
sectional. For the study, a convenience sample of military police officers was used,
totaling 16 police officers at the end of the sample. The inclusion and exclusion criteria
were: those who accepted the invitation to participate in the research, were at least 25
years old, men and women, and had at least one year with the corporation, the research
did not have any loss or withdrawal from the volunteers. The research instrument used
was: a mixed questionnaire, with open and closed questions, where the questions were
about physical activity practices and the use of ergogenic resources. For data analysis, the
program Microsoft Excel version (2016) was used. The results showed the moderate
prevalence of physical activity practice and the use of ergogenic resources by military
police officers, before and during the covid-19 pandemic, not impacting the operational
work developed by them. Thus, it is concluded that, despite the atypical moment of the
covid-19 pandemic, physical activity practices and the use of ergogenic resources
remained at a good level, capable of meeting the operational work needs that are
extremely important for physical performance and cognitive skills inherent in a military
police officer. Having these results, comparative studies against the internal TAF of the
military police are also necessary, to compare the data before and after the physical test,
in order to obtain a more conditioned and complete response.
