The aim of the study was to determine whether changes occurred in anthropometric and body composition in full military policemen on the 7th bpm state of Rio de Janeiro undergoing a program of "Circuit Training", the sample consisted of 30 officers aged 23 and 45.

Between the pre and post-test, there were 30 sessions of Circuit training, 2 times a week, lasting 30 minutes and the intensity controlled by FC. Descriptive statistics were used to through Student t test for dependent samples for data analysis.
