Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare fitness, hip range of motion (ROM) and movement quality of an Emergency Task Force (ETF) police unit across age groups and with other populations. ETF had poorer hip ROM and back torso endurance compared to other cohorts which are variables linked with back disorders.
