Abstract

Background: Physical exercise and relaxation practices reduce job stress and health concerns. The current study's researchers designed an educational intervention to avoid these diseases in provincial bus drivers. The role of physical exercise and relaxation techniques in reducing occupational stress and health problems among provincial bus drivers, researchers conducted this study to assess the effectiveness of an educational physical activity intervention and the implementation in preventing occupational stress and work health related problems among provincial bus drivers in Araneta Bus Terminal, Quezon City. Method: There are 60 respondents in this study which were randomly selected using randomized  trials. This work aims to offer an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of all randomized controlled trials of physical techniques of relaxation and exercises in bus drivers to reduce occupational stress and treat health concerns. Result: The 5-minutes stretching has a significant effectiveness towards occupational stress and health problems; the personal pain index indicates each significance. However, weak evidence was also found against the null hypothesis for the claim that section 4's reading had no effect on stretching exercise. Conclusion: The results indicated that the 5-minute physical activity intervention had a positive impact on the occupational stress and health problem prevention in provincial bus drivers.
