Thirty-one teachers from a total of 65 physical education teachers in the network were evaluated, stratified by gender and length of service (2-8 years, 9-15 years, >15 years). The results The general average of the QL score indicated that the teachers' quality of life needs more attention and improvements, mainly in the domains of social relations, environmental conditions and stress.
