Abstract

There has long been discussion and interest in the topic of whether or not athletic involvement correlates with better academic success. exploring the complex relationship between athletic participation and academic performance, illuminating the varied effects it has on learners across the lifespan. From elementary schools all the way up to college campuses, athletics programmes have grown in importance throughout the years. For the sake of health, personal growth, and collaboration, we urge our students to participate in athletic activities. But people have different opinions on how sports affect students' performance in the classroom. Sports involvement has been argued to have favourable benefits on cognitive development and overall educational success, while others see it as a possible distraction that might impair academic advancement.
