Intervention programs to prevent or treat burnout syndrome are essential to improving the health of students. In the absence of an effective programme, students are likely to suffer from a mental health impairment under study or related to it, in which risk factors prevail. Objective: to determine the effectiveness of physical exercise in reducing levels of burnout syndrome in college students. Methods: A study with pre-test and post-test, with 2 intervention groups (aerobic exercise 28, strength exercise 26) and one control group (without exercise 27). Sample was probabilistic and stratified with proportional participation. Study variables and instruments included: Maslach Burnout Inventory Students Survey (MBI-SS), Heart Rate Variability (HRV), calculating RR mean, SDNN, and RMSSD. For physical exercise, aerobic and strength exercise was applied for 3 weekly sessions for one hour, on alternating days, for 16 weeks. In both intervention groups, physical exercise was governed by the latest exercise prescription guidelines of the American College of Sports Medicine. Results: Aerobic group with MBI-SS Exhaustion were higher, reducing their levels by 26.4% (d=0.532), in Cynicism (-21.06, d=0.252) and in Effectiveness (-13.11, 0.397). Strength group in Cynicism (-27,38, d=0.315), in Effectiveness (-21,69, d=0.704), Exhaustion (-19,55, d=0.299). Control group Exhaustion increased 10.26% (d=0.128). In HRV, aerobic group the SDNN had the greatest percentage change, with an increase of 24.82 %, over the mean RR and RMSSD (14.40 % and 16.45 %). Strength group and in the control (21.77%, 14.24%, 12.60%; and 12.59%, 4.97% and 4.99% respectively). There was a change in the mean RR in the aerobic and strength groups (d = 1.281 and 1.328). In exhaustion there was the greatest percentage of change in the aerobics group with a reduction of 26 %, followed by the strength group (19.5 %). In the cynicism it was the strength group that had the greatest reduction (27%) over the aerobics group (21%). In effectiveness, the strength group was 21% against 13% of the aerobics group. Comparison between the final tests of the groups of aerobics and strength: dimension effectiveness was low (d =0.284, PD = 10.51 %), in exhaustion and cynicism were trivial (d =0.068, PD = 4.83 %; and 0.030, 3.39 %). In HRV three variables with a trivial effect size (d =0.071, 0.85%; 0.177, 5.22% and 0.075, 2.95%). HRV behaved differently: In RR mean the difference was remarkably large (d =0.905, 10.24%), in SDNN it was moderate (d =0.515, 14.48%), whereas in RMSSD it was small. Conclusions: It is suggested that the reduction of burnout syndrome levels in students was greater in the physical exercise intervention groups. Aerobic exercises were more effective in reducing levels of exhaustion, while strength exercises reduced levels of the cynicism and effectiveness dimensions.Antecedentes: A Síndrome de Burnout é um problema actual de grande impacto sobre a saúde dos estudantes universitários em todo o mundo. Programas de intervenção para prevenir ou tratar a Síndrome de Burnout são essenciais para melhorar a saúde dos estudantes. Na ausência de um programa eficaz, é provável que os estudantes sofram de um problema de saúde mental em estudo ou relacionado com o mesmo, no qual prevalecem factores de risco. Objectivo: determinar a eficácia do exercício físico na redução dos níveis de Síndrome de Burnout nos estudantes universitários. Métodos: Um estudo com pré-teste e pós-teste, com 2 grupos de intervenção (exercício aeróbico 28, exercício de força 26) e um grupo de controlo (sem exercício 27). A amostra foi probabilística e estratificada com participação proporcional. Variáveis de estudo e instrumentos incluídos: Maslach Burnout Inventory Students Survey (MBI-SS), Variabilidade da Frequência Cardíaca (HRV), cálculo da média RR, SDNN, e RMSSD. Para exercício físico, exercício aeróbico e de força foi aplicado durante 3 sessões semanais durante uma hora, em dias alternados, durante 16 semanas. Em ambos os grupos de intervenção, o exercício físico foi regido pelas últimas directrizes de prescrição de exercício do American College of Sports Medicine. Resultados: O grupo aeróbico com Exaustão MBI-SS foi mais elevado, reduzindo os seus níveis em 26,4% (d=0,532), no Cinismo (-21,06, d=0,252) e na Eficácia (-13,11, 0,397). Grupo de força no Cinismo (-27,38, d=0,315), na Eficácia (-21,69, d=0,704), Exaustão (-19,55, d=0,299). O grupo de controlo Exaustão aumentou 10,26% (d=0,128). No HRV, o grupo aeróbio o SDNN teve a maior mudança percentual, com um aumento de 24,82 %, sobre a média RR e RMSSD (14,40 % e 16,45 %). Grupo de força e no controlo (21,77%, 14,24%, 12,60%; e 12,59%, 4,97% e 4,99% respectivamente). Houve uma mudança no RR médio nos grupos aeróbico e de força (d = 1,281 e 1,328). Na exaustão houve a maior percentagem de mudança no grupo aeróbico com uma redução de 26%, seguido pelo grupo de força (19,5%). No cinismo, foi o grupo de força que teve a maior redução (27%) sobre o grupo de aeróbica (21%). Na eficácia, o grupo de força foi 21% contra 13% do grupo de aeróbica. Comparação entre os testes finais dos grupos de aeróbica e força: a eficácia dimensional foi baixa (d =0,284, PD = 10,51 %), na exaustão e cinismo foram triviais (d =0,068, PD = 4,83 %; e 0,030, 3,39 %). Em HRV três variáveis com um tamanho de efeito trivial (d =0,071, 0,85%; 0,177, 5,22% e 0,075, 2,95%). O VHH comportou-se de forma diferente: Em RR a diferença foi notavelmente grande (d =0,905, 10,24%), em SDNN foi moderada (d =0,515, 14,48%), enquanto que em RMSSD foi pequena. Conclusões: Sugere-se que a redução dos níveis de síndrome de burnout nos estudantes foi maior nos grupos de intervenção de exercício físico. Os exercícios aeróbicos foram mais eficazes na redução dos níveis de exaustão, enquanto os exercícios de força reduziram os níveis de cinismo e as dimensões de eficácia.2021-07-28doctoral thesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttps://hdl.handle.net/10316/96419https://hdl.handle.net/10316/96419TID:101665423engRicardo, Yury Rosalesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2022-05-25T03:53:27Zoai:estudogeral.uc.pt:10316/96419Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-29T05:44:44.770141Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
