About

Radiologic technologists often face demanding work conditions that contribute to elevated stress levels and increased burnout risk, ultimately affecting both their well-being and professional effectiveness. Workplace exercise initiatives have shown potential benefits for improving physical and psychological health; however, experimental research targeting this specific occupational group is still scarce. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of a structured workplace exercise intervention on perceived stress, burnout, and quality of life among radiologic technologists. The secondary objective is to assess the effects of a detraining period on the same outcomes following completion of the exercise program.
