Sports Participation and Academic Achievement: A Longitudinal Study

Abstract

The study will involve a sample of students from various educational institutions, who will be followed over multiple academic years. Academic achievement data, including grades and standardized test scores, will be collected and analyzed in conjunction with information on sports participation. Additional factors such as gender, socioeconomic status, and extracurricular involvement will also be considered to account for potential confounding variables.Through statistical analysis, the study will provide insights into the correlation between sports participation and academic achievement, examining any trends or patterns that emerge over time. It will explore the potential mediating or moderating factors that influence this relationship, including self-discipline, time management skills, and social support networks.
