教师职业的特点是高度的压力和对身体的抱怨，这可以通过定期参加体育活动(PA)来改善。然而，PA对心理和身体健康的影响并不总是一致的，这取决于PA的类型。本研究旨在探讨佛兰芒中学教师的身心健康及工作相关健康状况，并找出人口统计、教学相关因素及不同类型的个人助理对这些健康变量的影响。这项研究包括对具有代表性的中学教师样本(n = 1066，平均年龄40岁；女性占68%)进行的在线调查。使用国际体力活动问卷评估PA水平和坐着时间，并使用短表36评估自感心理健康和身体健康。还收集了工作满意度、职业压力和缺勤等与工作相关的因素。进行t检验、单因素方差分析和线性回归分析。与一般健康人群相比，佛兰芒中学教师的心理和身体健康状况较差。这一差异在女性教师中尤为明显，与男性同事相比，她们报告的健康状况较差，职业压力较大，缺勤天数较多。更多地参与休闲时间的PA与更积极的健康感知相关。相比之下，较高的职业性PA水平和坐着时间对感知的健康有负面影响。个人助理总量、中等至重度个人助理总量、交通相关个人助理、家庭个人助理与教师自感健康无关。由于中学教师的自感健康水平较低，他们是旨在改善健康的干预措施的重要目标群体。只有闲暇时间的PA才与更积极的健康相关。这一发现可能表明，教师在空闲时间进行更多的锻炼，或者以更自主的方式进行锻炼，可能更能抵抗身心健康问题。未来的研究应验证在教师中推广闲暇时间PA是否具有改善其身心健康的潜力，并抵消教师健康与其职业PA之间的负关联。
The teaching profession is characterized by high levels of stress and physical complaints, which might be improved through regular participation in physical activity (PA). However, the effect of PA on mental and physical health is not always consistent and depends on the type of PA performed. The aim of this study was to examine the mental, physical, and work-related health of Flemish secondary school teachers and identify the impact on those health variables by demographic and teaching-related factors and various types of PA. This study included an online survey conducted across a representative sample of secondary school teachers (n = 1066, average age 40 years; 68 percent female). Level of PA and sitting time were estimated using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and perceived mental health and physical health were estimated using the Short Form 36. Work-related factors such as job satisfaction, occupational stress, and absenteeism were also collected. T-tests, ANOVAs, and linear regression analyses were performed. Flemish secondary school teachers have poorer perceived mental and physical health than a general healthy population. This difference is particularly evident among female teachers, who reported lower perceived health, more occupational stress, and more absent days compared to their male colleagues. Higher participation in leisure-time PA was associated with a more positive perceived health. In contrast, higher levels of occupational PA and sitting time had a negative impact on perceived health. Total amount of PA, total amount of moderate-to-vigorous PA, transportation-related PA, and PA at home were not associated to teachers’ perceived health. Because secondary school teachers’ levels of perceived health are low, they are an important target group for interventions aiming to improve health. Only leisure-time PA was associated with more positive perceived health. This finding may indicate that teachers performing more exercise during leisure time, or in a more autonomous way, may be more resistant to physical and mental health problems. Future research should verify whether promoting leisure-time PA among teachers has the potential to improve their mental and physical health, and counteract the negative associations between teachers’ health and their occupational PA.
