Background: Obesity is a problem that is found all over the world. Individuals who has increased of waist circumference or body mass index will have reduced physical fitness. This condition can also be found in security personnel who need great physical fitness for their occupation. Objectives: To find the correlation between waist circumference as marker of central obesity and Cooper test result in security personnel. Methods: This cross-sectional study was done to security personnel at Faculty of Medicine University as Indonesia with measuring waist circumference and Cooper test or 12-minutes run test distance covered. Result: From 43 subjects, we found that central or abdominal obesity prevalence is 27.9% and the mean of distance covered on Cooper test is 1787.41 ± 271.71 m. Spearman correlation test from both variables give significant inversely proportional correlation. (p value = 0.02; r = −0.430; 95% CI = −0.672 − −0.150). Conclusion: Increasing waist circumference in a person has correlation with decreasing physical fitness especially cardiorespiratory fitness.
