“…An intervention in exercise-related activities improves the health of employees [ 8 ]. Studies suggested that individuals of low socio-economic upbringing are less likely to engage in physical activity [ 9 , 10 ]. High-intensity physical activity improves one’s cardiorespiratory fitness; however, in their study, the authors of [ 11 ] found insufficient intensity in the type of physical activity recommended by WHO.…”

The Importance of Physical Activity in Preventing Fatigue and Burnout in Healthcare Workers

et al. 2023

The workers of the health sector are important to the country’s economy in many ways. Healthy and rested workers are highly valuable to the public health sector and give a good perception of their work to patients and society. It is thus important to have a sufficient number of healthy working staff in healthcare institutions who do not have work fatigue and burnout. A total of 987 employees—doctors, professional staff, and others—of a large healthcare institution in Hungary voluntarily participated in a survey regarding their lifestyle and physical activity habits and answered the questions anonymously. Women reported less leisure time (p < 0.02), with 54.9% of female respondents saying that they did not exercise regularly, and fatigue was more common among them (p < 0.001). In this respect, the healthcare workers’ responses did not differ from those of the overall population. The most common sports were cycling (17.7%), running (15.4%), and working out in a gym (12.3%). Reasons for not participating in sports included lack of time (70.2%) and fatigue (43.9%) as the most frequent responses. Healthcare workers are exposed to a number of risks that require particular attention to maintain their health. Employers should thus focus on implementing programs that prevent burnout and promote healthy lifestyles.

“…This activity is primarily held in cities in Greece, which is also one of the socio-cultural civilizations in the world (Schwery & Cade, 2009). Sport is a physical activity that connects the bonds of social life between people to become one, especially in ethnically diverse groups, socio-economically and other social stakeholders (Lewańczyk et al, 2023). Conflict in sport represents a situation in which two or more parties have different goals or interests concerning others.…”

Studying the impact of social interactions on sports organisations’ performance in Ambon City remains a relatively unexplored area. This research aims to address this gap by investigating the influence of social interactions among administrators, coaches, and athletes on sports organisations' performance. Additionally, it explores the disparity in performance levels between individual and team sports. The study focused on sport administrators in Ambon City affiliated with the Indonesian National Sports Committee (KONI). Fifteen participants were selected through purposive sampling, comprising administrators, coaches, and athletes from various sports branches, including athletics, taekwondo, boxing, water skiing, and football. Findings suggest that sports organisation management in Ambon City has not yet achieved optimal levels of effectiveness and facilitation, affecting the dynamics of group sports in particular. Team sports display a higher dependency on teamwork and board roles, notably the coach’s role. Despite suboptimal management, athletes retain the freedom to determine their paths to success or achievement. However, an imbalance exists between expectations and obligations in social relationships, except for the coach-athlete relationship. In summary, this study sheds light on the role of social interactions in sports organisations’ performance and highlights the differences between individual and team sports in Ambon City. These insights may serve as a foundation for more effective management strategies to enhance sports organisations’ performance in the future.

“…Te research questions focused on identifying possible barriers hindering participation and facilitators enabling participation in the programme and the impact of the programme on participants' mental and physical health and wellbeing. Interviews with participants and stakeholders were used to develop the initial programme theories (outlined in Lewańczyk et al [31] and Table 1) into context (C; prior set of social rules, norms, values, and relationships), mechanism (M; the choices and capacities which lead to regular patterns of social behaviour), and outcome (O; key evidence to mount, monitor, modify, or stop an intervention) confgurations [42].…”

Unemployment or being at-risk of unemployment is a health risk factor. Back Onside is a physical activity programme run in Bradford (UK) by the Bradford Bulls Foundation. It is aimed at improving the mental and physical health and wellbeing of adults who are unemployed or at-risk of unemployment. The programme is delivered in a relaxed and sociable environment to help build a positive mindset towards physical activity. We conducted semistructured interviews with participants on the programme (n = 5) and external stakeholders (n = 6) between 24 June and 12 July, 2021. Data analysis was completed using the context-mechanism-outcome (CMO) framework of realist evaluation. Four CMOs were identified: (1) resocialisation following COVID-19 lockdown restrictions; (2) congruence between the programme and participants’ goals; (3) engaging people in enjoyable activities; and (4) inclusive environments. We recommend future programmes to take an inclusive and relaxed approach to physical activity and be congruent with participants’ goals and values to ensure participants’ feel supported and adhere to the programmes.
