The mental health of public safety operators in the Amazon is a critical challenge for institutional management. This article analyzes the correlation between physical activity and mental health preservation through a biopsychosocial approach. The study is based on the premise that operational stress, compounded by the region's geoclimatic peculiarities, such as equatoriais thermal stress and geographic isolation, enhances psychic illness, reflected in an alarming 300% increase in suicide cases within the PMAM between 2022 and 2023. The methodology is characterized by qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory research, involving a bibliographic and documentary review. The results indicate that aerobic physical activity acts as a neuroprotection mechanism by stimulating the production of the BDNF protein, favoring neuronal resilience and emotional stability. It is concluded that institutionalized physical conditioning is an essential moderator against mental fatigue, reducing technical errors and promoting human dignity. The study recommends overcoming organizational stigma and integrating exercise into the service workload as a preventive strategy to value human capital, ensuring the efficiency of ostensive policing in the Amazonian context.
