Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the physical activity to prevent sedentary lifestyle in members of the Argentine Federal Police, based in the town of Viedma, Rio Negro Province. The data were collected in the place where the events occur, so through the problem described, the importance of practicing physical activity to prevent sedentary lifestyle in uniformed officers is intended to be determined. Quantitative research was chosen because quantitative data were analyzed, which were collected through closed (anonymous) surveys on the performance of physical activities, personal data (age, sex, number of working hours, seniority), as well as questions related to eating habits such as whether they eat four main meals. The aim was to use the facilities of the Federal Police to promote a more active lifestyle, while increasing the level of physical activity of the members. As a result, it was observed that the members of the Federal Police in Viedma became aware of the importance of practicing physical activity, but with little theoretical and practical knowledge; there was also little knowledge at the beginning of the true benefits of doing it regularly; but then they improved.
