  "abstract": "Introduction: Analyzing body size perception among Military Police Officers is important for their work. Thus, the aim of the study was to analyze body dimension perception among students of the Military Police Officer Training Course (MPOC).\n\nMethods: MPOC students were evaluated for body dimension perception and variables such as anthropometric measures and body composition, mood state, and physical activity time.\n\nResults: In this study, we found that 66% of MPOC students had adequate body size perception, 26% underestimated body size and 8% overestimated. No correlations were observed between body perception index indicators and anthropometric parameters, physical activity time, or mood.\n\nConclusion: In summary, body dimension perception among future officers is not merely an evaluation of one’s own body but reflects the complex interaction between physical reality and the pressures of the military context.",
