to members of the police in carrying out daily work without causing excessive fatigue and

study was Cross-sectional by taking a random sample of 56 male police officers. The analysis
results using chi-square concluded that there is a relationship between energy intake,
carbohydrate intake, with fitness level (p≤0.05). There is a relationship between body mass
index and smoking status, and physical fitness (p≤0.05). There is no relationship between
protein and fat intake with physical fitness status (p>0.05). The results of the multivariate
