Objetivo: analizar las barreras que impiden la práctica de ejercicio físico en estudiantes universitarios pertenecientes a programas académicos de pregrado de la ciudad de Manizales. Materiales y métodos: estudio con enfoque cuantitativo de tipo correlacional, cuya muestra corresponde a 2.576 estudiantes de pregrado presencial pertenecientes a cuatro universidades de la ciudad de Manizales. Para la recolección de datos se utilizó la escalade beneficios y barreras que tiene el ejercicio (EEBS) de Nola Pender. Resultados: las barreras mayormente reportadas se relacionan con el cansancio (67,7 %), la fatiga (60,24 %) y la falta de tiempo para realizar ejercicio físico (48,91 %). Se encontraron 13 barreras asociadas a los programas académicos, siendo los estudiantes de Bellas Artes, quienes se asociaron a un mayor número de barreras. Conclusión: el área de estudio de Bellas Artes se asoció a una mayor percepción de barreras, mientras que los estudiantes de Educación y Agronomía no consideraron barreras para la práctica del ejercicio físico. Los planes de estudios deben incluir espacios académicos y/o lúdicos que permitan una mayor motivación intrínseca y extrínseca para la práctica deportiva acorde a los intereses del área de conocimiento.

Objectives: Working with prison inmates involves constant contact with a stigmatized population, in hostile conditions where the working environment facilitates burnout syndrome among prison workers. The objective of this study is to carry out a bibliographic review to find pioneering and current publications, recognize the authors specializing in the subject and identify the most common findings of their research. Material and method: The tree of science (ToS) reference search method was used, which applies an analysis of data networks to find the most relevant scientific articles on a specific topic, in this case burnout syndrome. This tool shows the results in the form of a tree, where the root is formed by the classic publications, the trunk for the ones that have shaped the subject and the leaves are the most recent articles. Results: We found 140 published documents. The ToS selected 92 articles. The studies contained in the three parts of the ToS were analyzed; some of the determining factors were related to organizational structure, participation in decision-making, satisfaction and commitment to work, and lack of service and programs to help with depression or other mental conditions. Discussion: Some factors related to the work that these workers do, combined with the organizational shortages present in prisons, impose stress that leads to burnout syndrome in these employees. To reduce the syndrome, structural changes are needed in the institutions, as well as the strengthening of personal and professional skills and the social integration of prison workers.
