No previous studies in Mexico have been found that jointly analyze physical and leisure
activities as variables related to mental health in police o cers. This paper presents research on
burnout in Mexican Police o cers. The question it answers is: is there any association of burnout
with physical and leisure activities and personal profile? A total of 276 police o cers (87% men and
13% women) participated. To obtain information, the Spanish Burnout Inventory and the Operational
Police Stress questionnaires were used. A cross sectional study design was utilized with tests of
validity and reliability, goodness of fit, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and analysis of k-means
clusters. Results showed that a high number of policemen had high prevalence of burnout and a high
level of mental exhaustion, and that exercise was positively and significantly related to lower burnout
risk. Men showed higher risk than women. Results should be considered to improve interventions
and occupational health practices in the police force. This paper improves understanding of burnout
among policemen and the importance of exercise and leisure activities to alleviate burnout.
