Abstract
The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of resistance training on occupational stress and burnout of physical education teachers in Dehgolan city. The statistical population of this study was all teachers of physical education in Dehgolan city. 20 physical education teachers were selected through the available sampling method as subjects of the study and included in the experimental design including pretest-posttest with the control group. The research tool was a Job Stress Questionnaire of the UK Institute of Health and Safety (2004) and Maslach Burnout (1981). Reliability and validity of the questionnaires were reviewed and confirmed in previous studies. Subjects performed 48 hours before the beginning of the exercises in the current test and from two groups of exercise and control of job stress and burnout. The experimental group performed resistance training for eight weeks and three sessions a week. 48 hours after the last training session, the correct tests were done as in the first test, and from the experimental and control groups, the job stress tests and burnout were performed. To analyze the data, independent t-test was used to compare the rate of job stress and burnout and its components in the experimental and control groups. The results showed that there was a significant difference between job stress and burnout in both experimental and control groups. Regarding the findings, it is recommended that all physical education teachers as well as other teachers and employees of similar occupations be routinely trained in this exercise.
