“…Psychological detachment is commonly found to underlie these associations (Cho & Park, 2018). Van Hooff, Benthem de Grave, and Geurts (2019) further contextualized these relations by suggesting that more strenuous physical activity is necessary to unlock the detachment potential of exercise, which could explain failures to detect a physical activity–recovery association in some studies (e.g., Volman, Bakker, & Xanthopoulou, 2013).…”

“…One possible conclusion is that the “sweet spot” for intensity might lie in the middle, suggesting a possible curvilinear effect. Alternatively, intensity of physical activity may have different consequences for different resources: Whereas vigorous exercise might distract more and enhance affective resources (Van Hooff et al, 2019), extended bouts of vigorous exercise might reduce cognitive resources (Tomporowski, 2003) and thus could hinder performance.…”

While physical activity is widely recognized to be relevant to employee well-being and organizational health care costs, the management literature has yet to clarify when, how, and why employee physical activity influences job performance. Therefore, the goal of this review is to provide a cross-disciplinary synthesis of evidence surrounding the implications of physical activity for job performance. After first conducting an emergent systematic review of the management literature to verify our assertion that this research base has inadequately addressed the relationship between physical activity and job performance, we performed a cross-disciplinary review of six key disciplines (sports sciences, public environmental occupational health, general medicine internal, physiology, neuroscience, and psychology/psychiatry) to develop a resource-based framework that serves to identify how physical activity relates to job performance. This unifying framework is intended to guide future research on employee physical activity. As an initial application of this framework, we provide a set of future research directions centered on empirically evaluating proposed mechanisms, boundary conditions, and temporal factors that can inform physical activity research in organizational contexts.

“…Individuals engaging in physical activity of a greater intensity level may be even more likely to be distracted from daily demands (Petruzzello et al, 1991). In support of this view, Van Hooff et al (2019) found physical activity of a greater intensity to be associated with a range of recovery indicators, including lower levels of rumination about a stressful task. Drawing on the aforementioned theorising and empirical research, we predict that MVPA is particularly impactful in facilitating leisure‐time psychological detachment from daily demands.…”

“…Medical researchers have emphasised daily moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity (MVPA; Chomistek et al, 2017) as relevant to unlocking positive outcomes extending from being active, a perspective that has recently filtered into and informed applied psychology research (e.g. Van Hooff et al, 2019). This MVPA includes any physical activity above three metabolic equivalents (e.g.…”

“…In organisations, MVPA can facilitate work recovery (Van Hooff et al, 2019), the replenishment of cognitive and energetic resources during time away from work (Meijman & Mulder, 1998; Zijlstra & Sonnentag, 2006). However, little is known about how and why MVPA contributes to recovery from other forms of effort expenditure, such as meeting school demands (Peng et al, 2015).…”

Active Today, Replenished Tomorrow? How Daily Physical Activity Diminishes Next‐Morning Depletion

Background Physical activity is a salient input to psychological health and well‐being. Recent applied psychology research suggests that physical activity of a greater intensity is particularly important for recovery from work‐related effort expenditure. However, whether and how moderate‐to‐vigorous levels of physical activity influence recovery outside of working populations remains unclear. Further, the process through which this relationship unfolds on a day‐to‐day basis has yet to be mapped. Method We conducted a 10‐day daily diary study in a sample of 66 college students that incorporated objective measurements of physical activity and sleep to address these research gaps. Results We found that higher levels of daily moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity were associated with leisure‐time psychological detachment from daily school demands, which in turn related to longer duration sleep that diminished next‐morning depletion. Discussion We discuss how our findings advance a dynamic perspective of the intersection of physical activity and recovery from day‐to‐day that can be applied outside of working populations.

An experimental test of resource recovery from physical and relaxation work break activities

Actual resource replenishment, a defining part of the stress-recovery process, has hardly been studied. We address this gap in the literature within the context of work breaks to determine which resources are replenished relative to a pre-stressor baseline. Guided by conservation of resources theory and the effort-recovery model, we explored how two different break activities promoted recovery by looking at their effects on recovery experiences (relaxation, psychological detachment), psychological resources (self-regulatory capacity, energy), and an indicator of insufficient recovery (fatigue). In a sample of 160 college students, we experimentally induced a state of resource depletion via mentally demanding tasks and randomly assigned people to a physical (stationary bike) or relaxation (progressive muscle relaxation) recovery break activity. The relaxation activity resulted in higher psychological detachment and relaxation experiences, the physical activity resulted in higher energy levels, and there were no differences between the break activities for self-regulatory capacity or fatigue. Overall, post-break resource levels improved following recovery break activities. Energy levels returned to baseline (replenishment); self-regulatory capacity and fatigue improved beyond baseline (accumulation). These resource replenishment and accumulation findings further the development of recovery theory and help employees select a work break activity that better meets their resource-related needs.
