According to a recent study by the University of Montreal and the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, physical activity in youth not only enhances health but also boosts academic success. The findings suggest that primary school students who engage in sports show improved educational outcomes that persist into high school. Specifically:

– Girls participating in regular sports had a 21% lower risk of repeating a grade in adolescence compared to those who did not.
– Boys had a 16% reduction in the same risk.

This emphasizes the positive impact of sports on academic performance, reinforcing the importance of physical activity in education.
