The Problem

Background of the Study

Athletic training and academic study are interrelated.Both are two sides of one coin.Sports

in education are an integral part of the curriculum.It helps to shape a person's personality and

contributes to their holistic development.In some ways,this subject is a demonstration of all the

disciplines that one has learned in school.Every sport has its foundation in math and

physics.There are many educational benefits to sports,and not just for physical (Muktadir,2022).

According to Department of Economic and Social Affairs (2020),since the COVID-19

pandemic has spread to almost all countries of the world.Social and physical distancing

measures,lockdowns of businesses,schools and overall social life,which have become

commonplace to curtail the spread of the disease,have also disrupted many regular aspects of

life,including sports and physical activity.This policy brief highlights the challenges COVID-19

has posed to both the sporting world and to physical activity and well-being,including for

marginalized or vulnerable groups.

In ICA sports are an important element of a student's growth and development.They aid

in the growth of psychological well being as well as bodily health.Since education is not only

about some subjects but also about the entire personality development,as also is sports,there

are other values to be learned from playing sports,making it an indispensable part of education.

In exchange for a student participation in a sport,many ICANIANS athletes hope to secure a

full ride college sports scholarship.Athletic scholarships reward the hard work and skill of

students and provide them further opportunity to shine.

In response to the need, this study aims to introduce students toward the benefits and

impact of sports participation in the academic performance of Immaculate Conception Academy

students.

Theoretical Framework

There are currently only two theoretical perspectives regarding the relationship

between participation in athletics and academic achievement:that participation diverts attention

from academic goals or has a positive effect on academic achievement.The first,Zero-Sum

Model Theory,is derived from the work of Coleman (1961),who concluded that adolescent

society emphasizes peer acceptance and an indifferent approach to academic achievement.The

second is the Development Theory,a reaction to Coleman which instead offered that

participation aids in the overall development of athletes,including academically.In this second

perspective that informs the hypothesis of this study that athletic participation leads to

increased academic achievement.
