The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to investigate the efficacy of an 8-week yoga-based physical exercise program to improve mental and emotional well-being and consequently reduce burnout among teachers. We considered yoga because it is a discipline that enhances body awareness and encourages the contact with nature and the respect for every form of life, with a view to a more sustainable and greener global system. We recruited 40 professional educators (40–47 years), teachers in a public high school who reported perceiving signs of stress and emotional discomfort. We randomly assigned the 40 professional educators to either an experimental yoga practice (~60 min, twice a week) group (n = 20) or a control group (n = 20) that received a nonspecific training program (~60 min, twice a week). At baseline and after training we administered the Maslach Burnout Inventory: Educators Survey (MBI-ES) and the State Mindfulness Scale (SMS) to assess teachers' perceived level of awareness and professional burnout. We found a significant Time x Group interaction for the MBI-ES and SMS, reflecting a meaningful experimental group improvement (p < 0.001). No significant pre–post changes were found in the control group. The results suggest that an 8-week yoga practice could aid teachers to achieve a greater body and emotional awareness and prevent professional burnout.

Background: Psychological stress activates Hypothalamic- Pituitary- Adrenal axis (HPA) and Sympathoadrenal (SMA) axis”. Exercise has stress buffering action and it improves HRV and normalizes the cortisol response to stress. Aim: To evaluate the effect of moderate exercise in stabilizing autonomic and neuro-endocrine response to Psychological stress”. Study design: Randomized experimental study. Methodology: 100 MBBS students were engaged through DASS (Depression anxiety stress scale) proforma. They were divided into two groups; stress and control. HRV and serum cortisol levels were obtained. Stressed group did regular moderate exercise for 06 weeks. Independent t test was employed to see the difference in two parameters among the two groups. A p value of ≤ 0.05 was taken as significant. Results: After the intervention stressed group exhibited prominent decrease in LF/HF, LFnu, LFms2” and serum cortisol (0.009,0.033,.027 and 0.007 respectively. HFnu was significantly improved post exercise (.004). Significant reduction in serum cortisol was observed in stressed group after exercise (.007). Conclusion: Exercise can be employed to buffer the effect of psychological stress as it normalizes HPA axis” and autonomic response. Keywords: Heart rate variability, Psychological Stress, Exercise and Hypothalamic Pituitary Adrenal Axis’.

“…In general, burnout can be interpreted as mental fatigue, depersonalization and decreased personal achievement in athletes [7,8,9]. Burnout can cause someone feel tired, unmotivated and listless [10,11]. Previous research reported that burnout level can increase when athletes experienced excessive training hours [12,13], intense competition schedules [14,15], injuries [16], decreased performance [5], resulting in a negative impact on mental and physical health [17], and sport carrers termination [18,19].…”

“…If you don't have a mattress, you can use a mat or newspaper, and you should prepare a candle so that meditation can be conducted optimally. If all of this equipment does not exist, there will be a shortage and will have an impact on the ineffectiveness of this training" (Results of interviews with participants10,5,17,22,11,8). Burnout has always been a problem for us when carrying out intense training and competition schedules, so we emphasized that mindfulness programs could reduce burnout level (Results of interviews with participants 3, 6, 9, 10, 13, 16).…”

Purpose. The application of mindfulness training in sports activities showed enhancement, but lack of evidence about the effects of mindfulness associated with burnout and stress in junior swimming athletes through mixed research methods which created a gap in this study. Therefore, this research analyzed the effects of mindfulness on burnout and stress. Material and methods. Mixed method research with 51 junior swimming athletes involved in this study. In this quantitative research, burnout level was measured using the Burnout Scale for University Athletes, while stress level was measured using The Perceived Stress Scale. The instruments in qualitative research involved in-depth interviews. Results. First, the findings of the quantitative research found that there were no differences in burnout and stress scores in the mindfulness and control groups at the baseline stage (p≥0.05), but there were differences at the post stage (p ≤ 0.05). While the results of the qualitative research showed diverse perceptions of participants including the advantage, drawbacks and impact of mindfulness training. Conclusions. Thus, our research confirms and highlights that mindfulness training is proven to be an alternative and solution for athletes in reducing burnout and stress levels intended for junior swimming athletes.
