The diverse tasks of special operations police (SOP) units place high physical demands on every officer. Being fit for duty requires a wide range of motor abilities which must be trained regularly and in a structured manner. But SOP operators have to plan and manage large proportions of their training alone, which makes it difficult to control. Therefore, this study aimed to highlight strengths and deficits of the SOP operators' fitness by comparing them to elite athletes, and to define future training goals. Retrospective data of 189 male SOP operators were used, who completed several isometric strength tests, a graded exercise test to determine maximal oxygen uptake, and countermovement jumps to determine leg muscle power. On the basis of a literature search, performance data were then compared to a total of 3,028 elite male athletes from 36 Summer Olympic disciplines. Pooled means and standard deviations were calculated for each discipline and effect sizes were used to analyze their similarities and differences to the SOP unit. On average, SOP operators were taller, heavier, and stronger than elite athletes. But both the ability to convert this strength into explosive movement and aerobic power was significantly less developed. From this point of view, SOP operators should consider polarized endurance training to work efficiently on improving aerobic performance. In addition, regular plyometric training seems necessary to improve leg muscle power and agility.

Treat sports players using a new type of exercise or a method that has been popular in the world of increasing physical abilities in recent years, namely the varied plyometric method so that athletes don't feel bored. Types of plyometric exercises high hurdle jump and forward and lateral hurdle jump are two types of plyometric exercises but their implementation is different. Therefore, it is necessary to provide learning resources and human resources who are able to provide material for plyometric training methods. This study aims to determine the effect of high hurdle jump and forward and lateral hurdle jump exercises on increasing leg muscle strength and power. This research uses a quantitative approach to the type of classroom action research. The research method uses experimental methods. The research design used the none equivalent (pretest and post-test) control group design. The independent variables in this study are high hurdle jump training, forward and lateral hurdle jump exercises, and the dependent variable is leg muscle strength and power. The sample in this study amounted to 30 students of class X who used the random sampling technique. Analysis of the data used in this study to test the effect is paired t-test. Furthermore, to test the difference in effect between the treatment and control groups was carried out using one way ANOVA on the normal data distribution. The test results showed that there was a significant difference in the high hurdle jump experimental group on the variable leg muscle strength and power with a significance value of p 0.00 <0.05, a percentage increase of 6.79% in the strength variable and 6.22% in the leg muscle power variable. There is a significant difference in the forward and lateral hurdle jump experimental group on the variable leg muscle strength and power with a significance value of p of  0.00 <0.05, a percentage increase of 6.04% in the strength variable and 7.51% in the leg muscle power variable. High hurdle jump exercises are more effective than forward and lateral hurdle jumps to increase strength and forward and lateral hurdle jumps are more effective than high hurdle jumps to increase leg muscle power.

Background: Walking speed decreases in old age. Even though old adults regularly participate in exercise interventions, we do not know how the intervention-induced changes in physical abilities produce faster walking. The Potsdam Gait Study (POGS) will examine the effects of 10 weeks of power training and detraining on leg muscle power and, for the first time, on complete gait biomechanics, including joint kinematics, kinetics, and muscle activation in old adults with moderate mobility disability. Methods/Design: POGS is a randomized controlled trial with two arms, each crossed over, without blinding. Arm 1 starts with a 10-week control period to assess the reliability of the tests and is then crossed over to complete 25-30 training sessions over 10 weeks. Arm 2 completes 25-30 exercise sessions over 10 weeks, followed by a 10-week follow-up (detraining) period. The exercise program is designed to improve lower extremity muscle power. Main outcome measures are: muscle power, gait speed, and gait biomechanics measured at baseline and after 10 weeks of training and 10 weeks of detraining. Discussion: It is expected that power training will increase leg muscle power measured by the weight lifted and by dynamometry, and these increased abilities become expressed in joint powers measured during gait. Such favorably modified powers will underlie the increase in step length, leading ultimately to a faster walking speed. POGS will increase our basic understanding of the biomechanical mechanisms of how power training improves gait speed in old adults with moderate levels of mobility disabilities.
