“…Although interesting, few studies evaluated the possible effects of physical exercise on quality of life, especially considering the stress level in public school teachers. Teachers with chronic musculoskeletal pain involved in six weeks of yoga improved their pain and mental health scores [33].…”

Chronic high stress levels related to work impact the quality of life (QoL). Although physical activity improves QoL, it is not clear whether this life study habit could attenuate possible relationships between QoL and stress in public school teachers. The sample for this study was made up of 231 teachers from public schools. QoL was assessed using the Short-Form Health Survey and physical activity via Baecke’s questionnaire. A Likert scale assessed stress level perception. Poisson Regression analyzed the association between stress level and QoL domains adjusted for sex, age, and socioeconomic conditions (model 1). In model 2, physical activity level was inserted in addition to model 1. Seven out of eight domains of QoL, except the domain of pain, were associated with high levels of stress (all p < 0.05–model 1). However, in model 2, the associations of the high levels of stress with general health status (p = 0.052) and functional capacity (p = 0.081) domains of QoL were mitigated. Our results indicated that physical activity mitigated the relationship between higher levels of stress and lower perception of general health status and functional capacity domains in secondary public school teachers.

BACKGROUND: The Active Movement Scale (AMS) is a brief screen for identifying movement impairments affecting functional task performance. OBJECTIVE: To assess inter-rater reliability, test-retest reliability, floor and ceiling effects, and concurrent validity of the AMS in adults with musculoskeletal disorders. METHODS: Fifty-five subjects (mean age: 61.3±15.3 years) transitioning from physical therapy attended two sessions. The 14-item AMS was assessed by two therapists, resulting in a total score (AMST) and two sub-scores: upper body (AMSU) and lower body (AMSL). Moreover, subjects completed PROMIS Physical Function-10a (PPF), Lifestyle Physical Function (LPF), Cardio Activity Level (CAL) surveys, Two Square Agility Test (TSAT), WorkAbility Rate of Manipulation Turning (WRMT) and Placing (WRMP), Grip Strength (GS), 10-Meter Walk Usual (GSU) and Fast (GSF) pace, and Grooved Pegboard Placing (GPP) and Remove (GPR) tests. RESULTS: Inter-rater reliability coefficients for AMST, AMSU, and AMSL were 0.96, 0.92, and 0.96, respectively, with individual item reliability ranging from 0.58 to 1.0. Test-retest reliability for these assessments yielded coefficients of 0.93, 0.84, and 0.94, with individual item reliability ranging from 0.47 to 0.88. No floor effects were observed, but mild ceiling effects were noted. AMST showed a high correlation with LPF (r = 0.72) and moderate correlation with PPF (r = 0.64) surveys. AMSU had moderate correlations with GPP (r = 0.61) and WRMP (r = 0.57) tests, while AMSL correlated moderately with GSF (r = 0.55) and TSAT (r = 0.50) tests. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides evidence of the reliability and validity of AMS in adults with musculoskeletal disorders to support transitions between rehabilitation and fitness programs.
