Minutes of moderate PA per week approached significance as a positive predictor ( β = .161, p = .079), suggesting that medical students who reported engaging in more moderate PA per week tended to report higher burnout.
Conclusion In this study, negative associations between light PA and burnout and between SB and burnout, and a positive association (approaching significance) between moderate PA and burnout among medical students, point toward potential benefits engaging in gentler forms of PA and amounts of SB within guideline recommendations for medical student burnout.
