- Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate possible differences in relation to health behaviors among police academy cadets, in relation to (a) smoking and (b) exercise. METHOD The survey was conducted using the “Theory of Planned Behavior” questionnaire, with 202 police cadets, 118 men and 84 women, aged 18–24 years. RESULTS Analysis of variance revealed that there were differences between smokers and non-smokers in exercise and health behaviors. Older cadets exhibited more positive exercise behavior, and the older the individual, the greater his(her) involvement in and knowledge about sport activities in his(her) free time. CONCLUSIONS Behavior recording is an important tool for future information and for future modification, if necessary, of the attitudes and intentions of professional police officers.
