To examine how cardiorespiratory fitness and self-perceived stress are associated with burnout and depression. To determine if any relationship between stress and burnout/depression is mitigated among participants with high fitness levels.
197 participants (51% men, mean age=39.2 years) took part in the study. The Åstrand bicycle test was used to assess cardorespiratory fitness. Burnout was measured with the Shirom-Melamed Burnout Questionnaire (SMBQ), depressive symptoms with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD-D). A gender-matched stratified sample was used to ensure that participants with varying stress levels were equally represented.
Participants with moderate and high fitness reported fewer symptoms of burnout and depression than participants with low fitness. Individuals with high stress who also had moderate or high fitness levels reported lower scores on the SMBQ Tension subscale and the HAD-D than individuals with high stress, but low fitness levels.
Better cardiovascular fitness seems to be associated with decreased symptoms of burnout and a better capacity to cope with stress.
Promoting and measuring cardiorespiratory fitness can motivate employees to adopt a more physically active lifestyle and thus strengthen their ability to cope with stress exposure and stress-related disorders.
探讨心肺适能和自我感知压力与倦怠和抑郁的关系。确定在高健康水平的参与者中，压力与倦怠/抑郁之间是否存在任何关系得到缓解。
197 名参与者（51%为男性，平均年龄=39.2 岁）参加了研究。使用Åstrand 自行车测试评估心肺适能。使用 Shirom-Melamed 倦怠问卷（SMBQ）测量倦怠，使用医院焦虑和抑郁量表（HAD-D）测量抑郁症状。使用性别匹配的分层样本确保具有不同压力水平的参与者得到平等代表。
中高度健康水平的参与者报告的倦怠和抑郁症状少于低健康水平的参与者。高压力但中高度健康水平的个体在 SMBQ 紧张分量表和 HAD-D 上的得分低于高压力但低健康水平的个体。
更好的心血管健康似乎与倦怠症状减少和更好的应对压力的能力有关。
促进和测量心肺适能可以激励员工采取更积极的生活方式，从而增强他们应对压力暴露和与压力相关的疾病的能力。
