Workplace Exercise and Well-Being in Radiologic Technologists

Effects of a Workplace Exercise Program on Stress, Burnout, and Quality of Life in Radiologic Technologists

Radiologic technologists often face demanding work conditions that contribute to elevated stress levels and increased burnout risk, ultimately affecting both their well-being and professional effectiveness. Workplace exercise initiatives have shown potential benefits for improving physical and psychological health; however, experimental research targeting this specific occupational group is still scarce. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of a structured workplace exercise intervention on perceived stress, burnout, and quality of life among radiologic technologists. The secondary objective is to assess the effects of a detraining period on the same outcomes following completion of the exercise program.
