Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the primary physical and mental health outcomes related to the practice of physical activity in security agents through the Theory of Planned Behavior. The method initially explored the literature through a systematic review to identify the central existing studies involving physical activity and the Theory of Planned Behavior in security agents. Through the PRISMA strategy, scientific articles were selected, without the restriction of the year or security institution to which they belong, and published in the PubMed, Virtual Health Library, SciELO, Scopus, Web of Science, and PsycINFO databases, using Mesh and PsycINFO as descriptors. Their correlates are available in the English language, which are the terms “Theory of Planned Behavior,” “Physical Activity,” and “Police.” The analysis of the works verified the existence of only four studies that address the theme. In the end, it was concluded that the understanding of the intention of the security agents for the practice (or not) of physical activity would help the security agencies, through its corporations and institutions, to outline goals and public policies seeking strategies that help to increase the quality of life and reduce the involvement of chronic non-communicable diseases - CNCD, it being essential that future studies address this issue.
