What this trial studies

This pilot study evaluates the effectiveness of an adaptive physical activity program designed to reduce burnout among healthcare professionals. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group, which will engage in a supervised physical activity program over nine weeks, or a control group that will receive standard physical activity recommendations from the World Health Organization. The study aims to assess the impact of these interventions on burnout levels after ten weeks. The research is conducted at the Clinique de la Sauvegarde in Lyon.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adult healthcare professionals at the Clinique de la Sauvegarde with low to moderate levels of physical activity.

Not a fit: Patients with high levels of physical activity or serious health conditions that contraindicate physical activity may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly reduce burnout levels among healthcare professionals, improving their well-being and job performance.

How similar studies have performed: While similar approaches have been explored, this specific adaptive physical activity program for burnout prevention is relatively novel.
