Because height, weight, and physical ability testing is done at the time of qualification—there's no ongoing fitness or ability requirement in most places.  As many commenters have already pointed out, very few cops actually sprint after perpetrators all day, or ever.  They mostly sit in cars or behind desks, same as the rest of us.
