Abstract: Teaching is a high-stress profession that often leads to teacher burnout, which negatively impacts educators' physical and emotional well-being as well as student learning outcomes. This study examines the relationship between physical activity levels and teacher burnout among high school educators, with particular attention to implications for teacher leaders. Using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and the Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT-23), data were collected from 243 teachers across three high schools in the same district. Pearson's correlation and multivariate analysis of variance analyses were conducted using physical activity levels, teacher burnout, and demographic variables (age, gender, race, education level, experience, and school). Results indicate a significant negative correlation between physical activity and burnout. These findings suggest that increasing physical activity may help mitigate teacher burnout, especially among teacher leaders who often navigate elevated role demands. The study underscores the importance of school-based wellness initiatives that support the well-being of all educators and promote sustainable teacher leadership.
