PHYSICAL TRAINING IN THE MINISTRY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS: NARRATIVE REVIEW

Abstract

Physical training represents a fundamental component of professional development within the structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA), contributing to operational efficiency, health protection, and the psychological resilience of personnel with special status. The aim of this narrative review is to examine the national regulatory framework of the Republic of Moldova and align it with international perspectives on occupational physical fitness. The methodology is based on extensive documentary analysis, including scientific literature, normative acts and comparative studies. The results highlight the natural decline of physical capacity in the absence of continuous monitoring, the
significant influence of institutional policies, and the effectiveness of modern models, including abilitybased
training frameworks. The conclusions emphasize the need for differentiated standards, annual
assessments, and the integration of cardiorespiratory and neuromuscular components into the physical
training system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
