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. Measure the mass and body height, circumferences (forearm, arm relaxed, contracted arm, abdomen and waist, thigh and calf); skinfolds (subscapular, triceps, biceps, chest, axillary average, abdomen, suprailiac, thigh and calf) and the sum of all the folds of the trunk. Body density was estimated using the equation Petroski and %BF Siri equation. 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. Based on the results of significance was found (p<0.05) in body girth 9, 4 skinfold fat in the total fat percentage and fat mass.
