About this study
Official title: The Effect of a Physical Activity Program on Burnout Risk Among Secondary School: a Randomised Controlled Trial
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.
Read the detailed description
Given the increased risk of burnout among secondary school teachers, effective interventions are needed. Physical activity may play a big role in preventing and/or reducing burnout. Therefore the purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of physical activity on the risk of burnout in secondary school teachers. The participants in the intervention group will be asked to perform a specific physical activity program (including running and/or cycling at a moderate or vigorous intensity) for 6 weeks. The control group will be asked to keep their lifestyle as it was prior to the study. To assess the effect of this activity program, the participants will have to fill in a questionnaire at three time points. Lastly, the participants have to fill in an activity diary every day, enabling to assess intervention adherence.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Physical activityOther
Physical activity program consisting of running and/or cycling
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| 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. Receives: 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. Receives: Other: Physical activity |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
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.
Measured: 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.
Measured: 9 weeks
Secondary outcomes (2)
School and teaching subjects
It is a self-designed questionnaire about location and type of school, grades and teaching subjects
Measured: 9 weeks
Rate of perceived exertion
Effort and exertion will be measured by using the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion scale. The borg scale ranges from '6' to '20' and is highly correlated with the heart rate. A borg scale of 10 corresponds to a heart rate of 100bpm in a healthy adult.
Measured: 9 weeks
