Summary

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.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Workplace Exercise Program	Participants complete a six-week workplace exercise program comprising structured sessions based on methodologies described in previous studies (Alqhtani et al., 2023; Gelfman et al., 2024). Sessions are conducted three times per week, twice per day, with each session lasting approximately 15 to 20 minutes. The program includes exercises primarily performed in a standing position and aims to improve flexibility, balance, and strength. Flexibility training: Static and dynamic stretching exercises performed three times per week, 1-2 sets per exercise, held for 10-15 seconds each. Balance training: Static and dynamic balance exercises performed three times per week, 1-3 sets per exercise, for 10-20 repetitions or 10-20 seconds over a 3-6 meter distance. Strength training: Bodyweight and resistance exercises using auxiliary equipment (e.g., elastic bands), performed three times per week, 1-3 sets per exercise, 8-15 repetitions per set, with a slow to moderate tempo.
OTHER	Control (Non-exercise)	Participants in the control (non-exercise) group maintain their usual work routines and will not participate in any structured exercise sessions during the study period.
