description Introduction: The current system for becoming a state sector teacher in Spain is very different to the situation in Europe. The process involves having to pass a very demanding exam that has a negative impact on the emotional well-being of the applicants. Objective: This study aims (a) to develop and refine a multigroup equation model for the variables of physical activity, resilience, stress and burnout syndrome and (b) to study the effects of physical activity, resilience, stress and burnout syndrome variables using a multigroup structural equation model. Methodology: The study used a cross-sectional research design and was conducted on a sample of 4117 applicants. Scientifically validated instruments were used, such as the Perceived Stress Scale, the Connor Davidson Resilience Scale, the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Results: The candidates who have taken the test more than once have increased levels of stress and burnout syndrome. Discussion: These results are consistent with others research. In spite of this, the effect of resilience stands out as a fundamental element to face the selective process. Conclusions: developing resilience and doing physical activity could have a beneficial effect on the candidates during this assessment process.
