Nivel de actividad física y bienestar laboral en profesores de la Escuela de Educación Básica Emilio Abad de la ciudad de Azogues. Periodo marzo- agosto 2026

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the relationship between physical activity level and occupational well-being among teachers at Emilio Abad Basic Education School in Azogues, from March to August 2026. A quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, and correlational research design was used. The sample consisted of 50 teachers and school administrators, selected through census sampling. Two validated instruments were used for data collection: the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) to assess physical activity level, and the General Work Well-Being Questionnaire (QBLG, by its Spanish acronym), to measure occupational well-being. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics, with Spearman’s correlation coefficient used to determine the relationship between the study variables. This research sought to provide evidence on the importance of physical activity as a factor associated with teachers’ occupational well-being and to generate useful information for the development of institutional strategies aimed at promoting health and well-being in the educational setting. Keywords: physical activity, occupational well-being, teachers
