The health and mental health benefits of physical activity, quality sleep and optimal nutritional habits are innumerable and widely reported. Unfortunately, resident physicians report participation in physical activity at reduced rates compared with the general population. Reasons for limited physical activity include fatigue and lack of free time to dedicate to exercise. The lack of exercise is combined with variable sleep patterns due to call schedules, as well as deterioration of nutritional habits, leads to weight gain and overall decline in the health of the resident physician population. Another neurosurgery department has implemented a similar program for their resident physicians and found improvements in weight, biometric markers and increased cardiovascular tolerance of physical activity.
