The demands to law enforcement officers and tactical forces have increased over the last years. Essential physical tasks during daily duties for officers working on the streets or tactical forces during duties are manifold. Walking, running, jumping, climbing, as well as lifting, pulling, pushing, and self-defense are only some important tasks. Hence, not only strength and endurance are important factors during training, but several additional essential components of physical fitness such as cardiorespiratory fitness, power, speed, and agility are required and have to be considered. To execute these daily tasks effective and accurate a standout level of performance in one of these physical skills is not appropriate, but a more balanced level is recommended. Thus, professionals need fitness programs that are designed with a multifactorial approach to be prepared for those possible incidents during daily duty.
