Abstract |
|
|
| This study focused on the involvement of sports and physical activities in promoting academic achievement, self-
discipline, and volunteerism amongst third-cycle students in schools within Al Ain city in UAE. A purposive sampling technique was used in selecting (416) students from public and private schools to participate in the study. Data were collected using a validated online questionnaire. It was found that the extent of engagement in sports and physical activities and its importance in relation to academic achievement was high, whereas the involvement and significance of such physical activities in relation to self-discipline and volunteering was found to be very high. No significant difference was found between participants’ responses due to gender factor (α≤0.05). Nevertheless, a statistically significant difference (α ≤0.05) was found when considering students’ academic achievement level, with students having excellent performance scoring
significantly higher than others. |
