It can be concluded that physical activity may be effective in reducing burn-out risk .
The few observational studies linking sedentary and dietary behavior with burn-out risk suggest that being more sedentary and eating less healthy are each associated with higher burn-out risk .
Although it is believed that physical activity , sedentary , and dietary behavior ( i.e. , energy balance-related behavior ) may decrease the risk of burn-out  , the association between both is currently not well understood .
Therefore , the aim of this systematic review was to synthesize studies investigating the relationship between energy balance-related behavior  and  burn-out risk .
The effect of a cognitive and a physical stress-reducing programme on psychological complaints
Objectives : To investigate the short-term and long-term effectiveness of two , brief , preventive , work stress management programmes . One programme was a cognition-focused programme , the other was a newly developed intervention in which physical exercise and relaxation were combined . It was hypothesised that the newly developed intervention would be more effective in reducing psychological complaints than the cognitive intervention . Both programmes consisted of four sessions in a period of 10 weeks . Methods : From a working population engaged in a periodic health check-up , employees above a minimum stress level ( n=396 ) were invited to participate in a r and omised comparative outcome study with pre-trial , post-trial and 6-month follow-up measures . After giving informed consent 130 participants entered the study ( response rate 33 % ) . Outcome measures consisted of three self-reported question naires on psychological complaints . Results : It was found that both interventions revealed a positive impact on psychological complaints , burnout and fatigue , both at short-term and at 6-month follow-up . No statistical interaction effects between the two interventions were found . Calculation of the clinical significance of the effects indicated that 50 % of the employees with psychological complaints who participated in the physical intervention and 60 % of the employees who participated in the cognitive intervention improved and returned to functioning within normal range both in the short term and in the long term at 6 months . Conclusion : The data indicate that interventions were equally effective on psychological complaints , burnout and fatigue
