Abstract:

In the process of prolonged work, representatives of the teaching profession may develop emotional burn-out, manifested in a number of negative reactions: psychological, psychosomatic, behavioral. This nega-tively affects not only the well-being and self-perceptions of teachers, but also the process and results of their activities. In this regard, the search and development of effective means of preventing and correcting this type of professional deformation is becoming an important task for researchers. One of these means may be physical exercises. The presented study was carried out precisely in line with this possibility.Its pur-pose was to develop and experimentally evaluate the effectiveness of a special program of physical exercises to overcome emotional burnout among teachers of secondary schools, whose activities are associated with a significant risk of its occurrence. This program provides for the preferential use of dancing and dance movements to music during the school day, compliance with hygienic standards of work and rest, etc. It finds a positive emotional response from those involved, helps to improve their health and improve their level of performance.
