A total of 348 valid questionnaires were analyzed after excluding incomplete and insincere responses. The questionnaire consisted of items on general characteristics, exercise participation, perceived occupational professionalism, and job burnout. The collected data were analyzed using frequency analysis, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis with SPSS 25.0. The results were as follows. First, exercise participation, perceived occupational professionalism, and job burnout showed partially significant differences according to general characteristics. Second, exercise participation had significant effects on perceived occupational professionalism. In particular, the health/fitness factor positively influenced autonomy, belief in public service, and self-regulation awareness. Third, exercise participation also affected job burnout. The health/fitness factor negatively influenced emotional exhaustion, suggesting that exercise participation may help reduce burnout. Overall, the findings suggest that sustained exercise participation may serve as an effective strategy for promoting professional awareness and reducing job burnout among police officers and firefighters.
