Abstract

Introduction: The measurement of physical fitness is an important part of the recruitment and training process of police officers because the job ranges from physically non-demanding (i.e., administrative work) to highly demanding (i.e., chasing, arresting the belligerent or controlling a riot). Accordingly, future police officers (i.e., police students, cadets or trainees) typically complete a physical training program to improve their fitness level before becoming sworn officers. To complete tasks given during police recruits physical exam needs more stability of spine and pelvis and our global muscles (slings of muscle system) helps to improves stability of spine and improves the movement pattern of the body. Introducing the functional integration exercises helps to improve the stability of spine and pelvis. The FMS aims to identify imbalances in mobility and stability during functional movements.

Aim & Objective: To find out effectiveness of functional integration exercises on functional outcome among police recruits in Maharashtra state by using functional movement screening (FMS) score over the period of 4weeks.

Methods: We conducted experimental study among 53 police recruits from Pune. Null hypothesis was created followed by alternative hypothesis. We collected data from the field as per inclusion criteria. We used Microsoft excel for data entry and Graph pad instat (version 3.0632) for statistical analysis.

Results: There was significant rise in score on FMS after functional integration exercises among participants.

Conclusion: The functional integration exercises proved to be effective for improving balance between the stability and mobility and also effective in core strengthening for a period of 4 weeks.
