The article deals with the well-being of Lithuanian physical education teachers as a precondition of their successful professional position. The sample size, consisted of 324 physical education teachers (183 men and 141 women) working in secondary schools in Lithuania, representing the whole population of Lithuanian physical education teachers. Well-being, which was characterised by physical education teachers according to the experienced tension, and its various causing factors, was evaluated on a 12-point scale.
It has been established that women feel stress more often because of problems in the family (p < 0.001). Older physical education teachers feel underestimated more than their younger counterparts (p < 0.01), and they suffer from various ailments (p < 0.05). Comparison of data between men and women in the group of 20 and less years of teaching experience showed that women suffer from family problems more often than men (p < 0.01), and in the group of 20 and more years of teaching experience women face financial difficulties more often than men (p < 0.05). Physical education teachers (women) feel tension due to more diverse factors than men. Besides, every third research participant suffers from tension during his/her professional activities.
