Systematic review of the association between physical activity and burnout.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Burnout constitutes a health risk, and interventions are needed to reduce it. The aim of this study was to synthesize evidence regarding the relationship between physical activity and burnout by conducting a systematic review of longitudinal and intervention studies.

Methods

A literature search resulted in the identification of a final set of ten studies: four longitudinal and six intervention studies. In separate analyses for each category, evidence was synthesized by extracting the study characteristics and assessing the methodological quality of each study. The strength of evidence was calculated with the standardized index of convergence (SIC).

Results

In longitudinal studies, we found moderately strong evidence (SIC (4) = -1) for a negative relationship
