Abstract

The selection process for teachers in Spain involves a great deal of academic preparation on the part of the applicant. The aforementioned can lead to the appearance of negative emotional states. Therefore, the aim of this research is to study the levels of physical activity, resilience, stress and burnout syndrome in terms of the number of applicants to the competitive examinations for primary education teachers and to study the relationship between physical activity, burnout syndrome, resilience and stress. A descriptive, cross-sectional, comparative study was carried out on a sample of 4117 candidates for the primary education competitive examination. The instruments used for data collection were validated instruments such as the Perceived Stress Scale, the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Finally, it is concluded that a higher number of competitive examinations for the Spanish public teaching profession leads to an increase in the levels of burnout syndrome, stress and physical activity
