Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of a 6 weeks physical activity program on burnout risk in secondary school teachers. Also, the difference between the effects of moderate en vigorous-intensity physical activity will be investigated.

Conditions

Burnout Risk; Physical Activity

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Burnout risk

  Assessing the burnout risk by using the Burnout assessment tool (BAT). It consist 34 items scored on a 5-Point likert scale ranging from 1 (never) to 5 always. The greater the total score, the more the participant is in risk of a burnout.

  9 weeks

• Recovery need

  Assessing the recovery need by using the Short Inventory to Monitor Psychosocial. hazards (SIMPH). This survey consists of 5 questions with the answer options 'yes' or no'. A score of 3 times 'yes' out of 5, is an indication of a possible increased need for recovery at work.

  9 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• School and teaching subjects

  9 weeks

• Rate of perceived exertion

  9 weeks

Study Arms (3)

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

The participants in the control group will be asked to maintain their lifestyle as before the study.

Moderate-intensity group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will be asked to perform a physical activity program, consisting of cycling and/or running for 6 weeks of at least 150min/week. This at a moderate intensity, which means a slightly increased heart rate and breathing also talking is possible.

Other: Physical activity

Vigorous-intensity group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will be asked to perform a physical activity program, consisting of cycling and/or running for 6 weeks of at least 75min/week. This at a vigorous intensity, which means increased heart rate and breathing also talking is possible.

Other: Physical activity

Interventions
