In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

All praise belongs to Allah, the Creator of the world, who provides the blessing and the
fortitude necessary to finish this report for our group project. Muhammad the Last Prophet and
Messenger, who is the perfect example of a human being, may peace and blessings be upon
him.

We would like to express our gratitude to madam Siti Nursyahira Binti Zainudin for
teaching this course and for all of the support, offering a clear format explanation guide and
suggestions she provided to assist in the successful completion of this project. This report also
cannot be done without a commitment between group members. Without their efforts and
cooperation, our team members Syaqir Afnan, Muhammad Faisal, Raja Ilham Shukri,
Muhammad Azriq, and Sais Muhammad Akasyah would not be able to complete this task.

Furthermore, we are also thankful that we were able to complete this job together. We
are able to do this inside the allocated time by our lecturer. With the help of people who were
careful and worked hard, this project was completed effectively. This is the response to the survey
we distributed using Google Form. We sincerely appreciate our friends and respondents for their
assistance and willingness to work with us to complete the questionnaires. In addition, we must
not overlook the fact that our parents never fail to support and pay attention to us.

All of the help and support that has been given and received during the execution of this
assignment is extremely appreciated because it would be impossible to finish this paper's
assignment without it. We sincerely apologize for any errors, since we did our best on this
project. We also hope that others will find our report beneficial in that they will be aware of the
new figure and find it acceptable. Our team has high hopes for this task and is hopeful that
Madam Siti Nursyahira will be satisfied with the report.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of Study

A sound body is a sound mind, a sound body is a healthy, physically fit body, and a sound mind
is a mind capable of excellent, positive and free-thinking thoughts. These two key elements of
our human being contribute to the bulk of life objectives being met. Sound body may be attained
by successfully activating physical moments such as participating in sports and allocating effort
to each muscle in the body. This will lead to a sound mind. Only by preserving physical and
mental balance is it possible to live a healthy lifestyle. In this era, there are many choices of sport
activity that people can do, especially for students like football, badminton and many more.
Nowadays, students are exposed to a wide range of sports activities. Most students might select
the ideal sport that suits them well if they were aware of a healthy lifestyle and the amenities
available in their surroundings.

Students need to manage their time wisely to do a sports activity and have a good rest
since almost weekdays they need to wake up early in the morning to attend class until evening,
to do an assignment and study for the upcoming quiz and final exam. Lately all students attend
class online when pandemic Covid-19 happens because people need to stay at home to control
the outbreak therefore many of them are stressed out to follow a new norm of studies and life
which has had a negative impact on mental health. According to the study, as many as 936
students having stressed among 966 students that participated in the survey. (Mustafa Malik &
Sarfaraz Javed 2021) According to Faizan Abd Jabar's research, practicing fitness and
participating in physical activities causes the release of hormones called endorphins and
dopamine, which directly interact with brain receptors and cause a positive feeling in the body.
Not only academics, students these days are dealing with stress and depression, so engaging in
physical activity would help with mental problems and bring peace to their lives.

Day by day technology becomes more advanced and we need the technology to live with
such as smartphones, Internet and computer or laptop because our tasks these days need it so
we can complete that given task within a given time with the help of those technologies.
Sometimes not all things give a positive impact towards us, technology also has some negative
impact when the user tends to use it for a long period. According to a survey conducted by
Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission, users of the Internet in Malaysia for the
year 2020 increased to 88.7 percent from 87.4 percent in 2018 and from age 15 – 24 increased
43.4 percent for 2020 compared to 23.2 in 2018. Since that these students may have health

5
issues such as back pain, cloudy vision, headaches, and dizziness. Besides that, they are also
exposed to explicit content and cut off from the social community. Students must be encouraged
to participate in sports activities for their own reason, since sport is a technique of contributing to
a high quality of life. Sport has the potential to keep children healthy, discourage them from
engaging in criminal activity, smoking and promote social interaction. According to B.D. Kirkcaldy
[5] in his study, found that the adolescents who are involved in sports or physical activities
normally use less cigarettes compared to those who are not.

Lastly, sport has been demonstrated to improve focus, memory, creativity, and problem-
solving skills by increasing blood flow to the brain and assisting the body in building more
connections between nerves. In a nutshell, sports allow your brain to develop and function more
effectively. This study took place at UiTM Alor Gajah, Melaka. This data is important to know if
sports have a bad or good impact on student life. Population is from a selected faculty and we
choose 50 students to be our sample. The purpose of this research is to learn more about the
impact of sports on students’ life.

students spend time in sport more than 26.11 minutes per day

MEDIAN / QUARTILE 2

Thus, we can find :

Position of Q1 = 50 / 4 Position of Q2 = 50 / 2 Position of Q3 = 3 (50) / 4

= 12.5 = 25 = 37.5

Then, locate these position on the y-axis on the less than ogive above. Draw a horizontal line
for each quartile such that it touches to the graph and drop the line to touch x-axis. After that
read the quartiles value on the x-axis. From the graph, we estimate that Q1 = 3.18 . 25% of the
students got a CGPA last semester less than 3.18, while another 75% of the students got a
CGPA last semester more than 3.18. For the median or Q2, we estimate that Q2 = 3.48. 50%
of the students got a CGPA last semester less than 3.48 while another 50% of the students got
a CGPA last semester more than 3.48. Lastly, we estimate that Q3 = 3.78. 75% of the students
got a CGPA for the last semester less than 3.78 while another 25% of the students got a
CGPA for the last semester more than 3.78.

4.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
This conclusion based on what we studied there is some data that answers an online
questionnaire that has been created by us titled "Impact Of Sports On Students' Life".We study
50 answers that have been anwer by UITM students that half from sample male and another
half is female .

The data shows the number of students by their gender from 4 different faculties
likeFaculty of Accountancy,Faculty of Art & Design,Faculty of Business & Management and
Faculty of Communication & Media Studies in UiTM Kampus Alor Gajah, Melaka. The highest
respondent from the Faculty of Business & Management recorded a total as much as 38
respondents and for the other faculties it is the same which is 4 respondents. A stratified sampling
technique was used to choose a random number of students from each course. There were just
50 people chosen to participate.

Lastly, we also study what sport that student UITM mostly choose and how long students
actually take time to play sport usually. Besides that,we also investigate students' lifestyles on
negative activity that they do in this study because we want to investigate the lifestyle of UITM
students.
