Whether the Special weapons and tactics (SWAT) are in better physical fitness to have higher accuracy of pistol shooting needs further investigated. Moreover, this information may provide the training guide for the police officers and for SWAT selection. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between physical fitness and pistol shooting performance in SWAT, and find out the differences compare to the general police officers. Hope to find out the correlation physical fitness factors in shooting performance. Fifteen SWAT and 13 general male healthy police officers were recruited in current study. They are between the ages of 22-50 years old and have carried out the outside duties more than 1 year. The upper limb muscle strength and endurance, the index of regulating autonomic nervous system-heart rate variability (HRV), balance ability are the testing physical fitness parameters and find out their correlation to pistol shooting performance of SWAT and general police officers. The results showed that the SWAT group were significantly better than the general group only in the shooting performance (83.6 points vs. 68.7 points) and grip strength (52.1kg vs.47.4kg), and the others including heart rate variability, upper limb muscle strength and balance ability were no significant difference between groups. Moreover, the BMI and elbow flexion torque in the SWAT group showed a considerable degree of relationship to the shooting performance. The ratio of low frequency and high frequency of heart rate variability showed significant correlation with shooting performance in the general group. Moreover, the radial deviation torque of the wrist joint in general group almost reached significant correlation with the shooting performance. The physical fitness of the SWAT group was better than in general group only in grip strength in the testing parameters. The better shooting performance in SWAT may highly correlate to their training way and group selections. Moreover, the physical fitness in these two groups may have different effect in the shooting performance.
