The goal of this observational study is to learn about the relationship between physical activity levels and mental health outcomes in French medical residents. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Do lower physical activity levels or reductions in exercise since medical school relate to higher anxiety, depression, and burnout among medical residents? Do these associations differ by gender or training-related factors?
Participants will complete online questionnaires assessing their physical activity, changes in exercise habits since medical school, and symptoms of anxiety, depression, and burnout at a single point in time.

| Physical Activity and Mental Health Outcomes Assessment | Diagnostic Test | This observational assessment examines physical activity levels and changes in exercise habits, along with mental health outcomes, in medical residents using validated questionnaires for physical activity, anxiety, depression, and burnout. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Mental Health Outcomes (Anxiety and Depression) | Anxiety and depression in medical residents are assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Score Range: 0-21 for each subscale Interpretation: Higher scores indicate greater anxiety or depressive symptoms | At study enrollment during residency training (baseline) |
| Mental Health Outcomes (Burnout) | Burnout in medical residents is measured using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), including emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment. Emotional Exhaustion: 0-54 (higher scores indicate greater burnout) Depersonalization: 0-30 (higher scores indicate greater burnout) Personal Accomplishment: 0-48 (lower scores indicate greater burnout) | At study enrollment during residency training (baseline) |
| Physical Activity Levels | Physical activity in medical residents is assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), capturing current activity levels and changes in exercise habits since medical school. Levels are categorized as low, moderate, or high and analyzed in relation to mental health outcomes. Outcome: Total physical activity expressed in MET-minutes/week Categories: Low, Moderate, High physical activity Interpretation: Higher values indicate greater physical activity | At study enrollment during residency training (baseline) |
| Sport Participation Frequency | Participants report the frequency of sport or exercise participation during residency, measured as the number of exercise sessions per week. | At study enrollment during residency training (baseline) |
| Sport Participation Duration | Participants report the average duration of exercise sessions during residency. Unit of Measure: Minutes per exercise session |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Gender | Participants report their gender (male, female, or other) to examine its association with physical activity levels and mental health outcomes. | At study enrollment during residency training (baseline) |

| At study enrollment during residency training (baseline) |
| Type of Sport | Participants report the type of exercise, both during medical school and residency. | At study enrollment during residency training (baseline) |
| Satisfaction With Current Physical Activity Level (Self-Reported Questionnaire) | Satisfaction with current physical activity level is assessed using a self-reported study questionnaire. Participants indicate whether they are satisfied or not satisfied with their current level of physical activity. Outcome Measure: Satisfaction with physical activity (Satisfied, Not satisfied) | At study enrollment during residency training (baseline) |
| Change in Physical Activity Level Since Medical School (Self-Reported Questionnaire) | Changes in physical activity level since medical school are assessed using a self-reported study questionnaire. Participants indicate whether their current level of physical activity has increased, decreased, or remained unchanged compared with their activity level during medical school. Categorical change in physical activity level (Increased / Decreased / No change) | At study enrollment during residency training (baseline) |
Participants report their age in years to evaluate potential relationships with physical activity and mental health outcomes.
| At study enrollment during residency training (baseline) |
| Marital Status and Children | Participants report marital status (single, married, in a relationship) and whether they have children, to assess potential influences on exercise habits and mental health outcomes. | At study enrollment during residency training (baseline) |
| Year of Residency | Participants indicate their current year of residency training to explore associations with physical activity and mental health outcomes across different stages of residency. | At study enrollment during residency training (baseline) |
| Specialty | Participants report their medical specialty to examine whether specialty-related factors are associated with physical activity patterns and mental health outcomes. | At study enrollment during residency training (baseline) |
