Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore the work ability of Finnish PE

Key findings: Of the Finnish PE teachers (N=655), 31% reported that they had at least
one disease or disorder that hindered their work ability. The most common were
musculoskeletal disorders. PE teachers identified knee and back problems in particular.
Good ability to work was related to higher job satisfaction.
