Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the relationship between physical activity levels and mental health outcomes in French medical residents. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do lower physical activity levels or reductions in exercise since medical school relate to higher anxiety, depression, and burnout among medical residents? Do these associations differ by gender or training-related factors? Participants will complete online questionnaires assessing their physical activity, changes in exercise habits since medical school, and symptoms of anxiety, depression, and burnout at a single point in time.
