The role of physical exercise and resilience in reducing burnout among university students in Lebanon: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveUniversity students in Lebanon are intensely exposed to academic, socioeconomic, and psychological stressors that may contribute to burnout. This study aims to explore the relationship between burnout, resilience, and physical activity among Lebanese university students, with a specific emphasis on gender differences. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted between February and May 2025 among 506 students enrolled in different universities. Participants were recruited through online platforms. A self-administered questionnaire assessed burnout using the Academic Burnout Scale, resilience using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and physical activity using the Physical Activity Rating Scale (PARS-3). Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS version 27.
resultsFemale students reported significantly higher levels of burnout compared to males, whereas male students showed higher resilience and greater engagement in physical activity. Burnout was negatively related to both resilience and physical activity, while resilience showed a strong positive association with physical activity. The strong associations were between burnout and resilience (r = - 0.73, p < 0.001) and between burnout and physical activity (r = - 0.72, p < 0.001), with a strong positive affiliation between resilience and physical activity (r = 0.69, p < 0.001).
conclusionHigher resilience and increased physical activity were associated with lower burnout levels among Lebanese university students. These findings highlight the importance of implementing physical activity and resilience-building programs with Lebanese universities to support students ' well-being and academic functioning.
