본 연구는 지난 5월 서울에서 온라인 커뮤니티에 '대림동 여경 폭행'이라는 영상에서 주취자 제압에 나선 여경이 피의자와 몸싸움에서 밀리는 등 다소 무기력한 모습의 장면이 나옴에 따라 경찰의 체력검정에 대한 문제점은 무엇인지 이에 대한 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다. 경찰 체력검정은 직무수행과 연계성이 있어야 함에도 현실에서 적용하기 어려운 항목들로 구성되어 있어 비난의 대상이 되고 있다. 문제점으로 나타나고 있는 것은 체력검정 종목의 비현실성과, 체력검정 기준이 너무나도 낮게 선정되어 있으며, 남녀성별 기준의 불균형과 체력검정 방법의 비전문화로 신뢰성이 떨어진다는 것이다. 이에 대한 개선방안으로 첫째, 치안상황에 맞는 현장 활용 가능한 종목으로 개선되어야 하며, 체력검정 평가기준을 상향 조정하고 업무수행에 필요한 제도적 장치 마련과 경찰의 직업적 특수성에 따른 기준을 충족하지 못하고 있는 여경의 체력검사기준을 강화하고, 부상방지 및 효과적인 체력측정을 위한 과학적인 체력검정 시스템을 구축하여 대한민국이 세계 최고의 치안서비스를 제공하는 치안강국으로 자리매김하기를 기대해 본다.

This study examined the relationship between body fitness and body composition as well as the body fluid and intracellular fluid (ICF) of extremities to determine body composition's quantitative criteria for body fitness. Multiple-frequency segmental bioelectrical impedance analysis and the physical fitness test provided by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology were used to measure body composition and physical fitness, respectively. The test results showed that in women in their fifties, the correlation between the amount of body fluid in the upper limbs and grip strength was r=.654 (p<0.01) for the right arm and r=.445 for the left while that between the amount of ICF in the upper limbs and grip strength was r=.708 (p<0.01) for the right and r=.323 for the left. Also, in women in their fifties, the correlation between the amount of body fluid in the lower limbs and the result of a repetitive side jump test was r=.730 for the right leg and r=.753 for the left (p<0.01 for both), and that between the amount of ICF and the counts for the right and left legs was even higher with r=.742 and r=.763, respectively (p<0.01 for both). The body fluid and ICF volumes in the right extremities exceeded those in the left, and physical fitness was correlated with both body fluid and ICF. These findings indicate a connection between physical fitness and body fluid and ICF, suggesting that body composition may help predict physical fitness.
