Academic burnout is the stress that students experience for a long time as a result of academic tasks. The objective of the present study was to examine whether the use of refresh activation, which is an active meditation that uses movement, conscious breathing, focus on attention and music, as a coping technique contributes positively to academic burnout. The refresh activation intervention program lasted 8 weeks. To measure the impact of the program, a pre-/posttest of the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS) was used, as well as another questionnaire for stress perception in different areas of life and another for satisfaction in daily practice de la activation refresh. The participants were university Mexican students. The experimental group was composed of 36 students, also four students volunteered to share in a qualitative manner their experience in the practice of refresh activation, this to reinforce how the program helped them in reducing burnout.
