Fitness programs, Public school teachers, Well-being, Job satisfactionAbstract
This integrative literature review explores the presence and impact of fitness programs for public school teachers. The review reveals a diverse range of program offerings, including access to exercise facilities, wellness workshops, yoga classes, mindfulness training, and social support initiatives. Despite methodological variations, participation in these programs is consistently associated with perceived benefits such as improvements in physical health, stress reduction, enhanced mood, increased energy levels, and greater job satisfaction. However, challenges such as limited time and resources, scheduling conflicts, and lack of organizational support hinder program effectiveness. Factors influencing successful implementation include organizational support, leadership commitment, staff engagement, program flexibility, and integration with existing school structures. Addressing these challenges and fostering a supportive school culture are crucial for optimizing program engagement and ensuring equitable access to wellness initiatives for all teachers. Overall, fitness programs have the potential to promote teacher well-being and job satisfaction, ultimately contributing to a healthier and more productive teaching workforce.
