Effects Of Curricular Activities On Adolescents
The Effects of Extra–Curricular Activities on Adolescents Programs that go beyond the classroom are designed to enrich the lives of students across
the globe. "They enrich the lives of the student, their families and our communities. These activities create well rounded children who learn what their
interests and talents are because they have been exposed to such opportunities."(Extracurricular activities, Anonymous) Parents tend to push their child
to study more when in fact, they should encourage their child to involve themselves in activities beyond a daily study session with their textbook.
While focusing on studies inside of the classroom is important, participating in groups outside of the classroom is vital. After school programs
promote the social skills of adolescents, good grades and behavior, self–esteem, discipline, and an overall positive outlook on life and what the future
may hold. Although extracurricular activities are great, they also hold some downsides, such as putting extra frustration on the student, stress, and
financial barriers. Extra–curricular activities are built for the embetterment of today's children and the community as a whole. When a child joins a
group outside of the classroom, they allow themselves step outside of their comfort zone and connect with different people who have similar interests.
This in turn builds life–long friendships, which can promote ones motivation, lessen grief, and keep one socially engaged, which is good for the

The Importance of Extracurricular Activities
The struggle is real. Maintaining the three most important aspects of teenage life – grades, sleep, and social life – is hard enough, but when you throw
in the stress of having to add more onto your plate for a better future, it can be almost suffocating. It is possible to only have to worry about making
the top grades to be automatically admitted into a college and then you're free from having to add more to your plate, but does that have lasting
benefits like branching out into extracurriculars does? Being smart can only take a person so far in life. Learning skills like time management,
organization, and leadership are vital to a person's success in the future; all of which can be learned through the experiences that extracurriculars
provide. Therefore, being involved in extracurricular activities can prove to have stronger and a broader spectrum of benefits than solely focusing on
grades. Extracurriculars teach students lessons that will last them a lifetime, not a semester. "Students who have active lives learn very quickly how to
manage their time" (Kelley). This is true because "students learn organizational skills from having to wisely budget their time" (Kelley). The student
that sits at home every night simply studying and doing their work to make the best grades, learn only the words written on the paper. As for the
student that spends every day at after school practices, meetings, and going to events on the weekends, they learn from the experiences they have.

Soccer is a Terrific Extra-curricular Activity
Extra–curricular activities are an integral part of any student's school experience. They are widely regarded as important, if not more important than
academics. Furthermore, contrary to popular belief, extra–curricular activities do not need to be sports in particular but can either be community
service, or an "academic" club like chess. Soccer is one of the best extra–curricular activities. Soccer can help you get a good job, gain admission into a
better college, or network.
First, networking (or "socializing") is an extremely important activity that many people do unconsciously over the course of their lives. The act of
networking allows people to discover new opportunities that may have been unavailable to them if not for "that one person." For example, if Mick had
not known Keith from college they would not have founded The Rolling Stones. Networking also allows people to make friends and expose
themselves to the plethora of cultures and customs from around the world. For example, when I played soccer at the Stouffville soccer club. I was able
to meet different people from Italy, Saudi Arabia, France, and Mexico amongst others. Furthermore, networking can also help one find a job or get
into a college. For example to get into a college people are usually required to have letters of recommendation. A well–networked person will inevitably
have a larger selection of strong recommendations to choose from due to his or her large number of contacts.

The Benefits Of Extracurricular Activities
In the United States, 57 percent of high school students participate in at least one kind of extracurricular activity (Bureau UC). Through extracurricular
activities, youth have opportunities to develop very important life skills. Through participating in an activity that requires time outside of the normal
school hours, students can learn to manage their time more efficiently. They must also develop rigorous study habits to perform well in the classroom
as well as in their chosen activity or activities. Through team oriented activities and clubs, students must learn to work with others and attain
interpersonal skills, along with a solid work ethic. Such activities provide a different type of environment than the classroom provides, and help them to
become comfortable in various situations. There are many proven benefits when teens participate in extracurricular activities; such benefits include
improved physical well–being, higher self–esteem, academic excellence, important social skills, and preparation to succeed not only school, but other
settings as well. Extracurricular activities are activities that are facilitated by adult supervisors and are conducted outside of school hours. Examples of
some such activities include sports teams, debate teams, choir, orchestra, band, dance, cheer, and numerous clubs. Through participation in
extracurricular activities, youth can develop good health habits, even if the activity or club does not include physical activity. In the world today,
many kids waste a great deal of time just looking at the screen of their smartphone, or sitting in front of a television set. A lot of time may also be spent
out with friends. When kids are out participating in different after–school activities, they are not only practicing good habits and spending their time on
positive developmental activities, but they can discover activities that they really like and may not otherwise have tried. They can find something that
interests them and spend time practicing skills and discovering their passions. Through extracurricular activities, students have opportunities to learn
things outside the classroom in a hands–on experience. Being involved in these activities enhances intrinsic motivation

Sports: A Research on Physical Activities Essay

Topic related to sport, participation, undergraduate students, and their motivation is identified since this issue discussed highly depended on individual
opinion on physical activity, be it as their hobby or not, while difficulty to understand the issue is moderate without much theoretical and highly jargon
to the group.
BACKGROUND STUDY
The terms "physical activity" and "exercise" have often been used interchangeably. Physical activity is "bodily movement that is produced by the
contraction of skeletal muscle and that substantially increases energy expenditure". Although the terms are similar in that they involve any bodily
movement that expends energy, exercise is a subset of physical activity that has been... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Research shows that students who do regular physical activity demonstrate improved academic achievement and increased productivity, and are able to
devote attention to tasks for longer periods of time. There is also evidence that students show improved behaviour and self–esteem, and are able to
engage in positive social interaction. Establishing healthy habits and routines in a supportive environment can also enable students to develop an
improved sense of belonging and connectedness to the school environment.
Positive experiences with physical activity at a young age also help lay the foundation for healthy, productive lives. Research indicates that today's
children are in danger of developing serious diseases, owing to the effects of obesity, which is one result of a lack of physical activity. Regular
physical activity can promote the growth of strong bones and muscles, help to develop good posture and balance, strengthen the heart and lungs, and
generally help to improve and maintain fitness. With improved fitness, there is less likelihood of developing chronic disease. Improved health and
fitness can also result in improved self–esteem and self–confidence.
In this study, we focus on students drive on physical activity as leisure–time activity, as defined, physical activity as an option whenever they are free.

The Benefits Of Extracurricular Activities
Despite the belief of extracurricular activities harming students, they can actually be beneficial. Extracurricular activities help students by helping them
learn how to manage time more efficiently and improve academics. There are social benefits, benefits outside of school, and benefits after school and
they help develop students and make them became what they will be in the future. Extracurricular activities more definitely benefit the students and
even the school. Extracurricular activities can help students by helping them learn how to manage time more efficiently and improve academics.
Students learn how to balance their activities and school work appropriately, this helps the student get their homework done on time and limit
procrastination (Jackson). With less time to do homework, students work more efficiently, this limits those late night homework sessions, because
students will make sure their work is done. When participating in an extracurricular activity, students might find that they have less time to work, so to
compensate they plan out when they will complete their homework, showing responsibility, and time management (Why Extracurricular).
Responsibility and good time management are beneficial because it shows that you know how to manage your time to complete things before they are
due. According to Nicole Jackson, "Studies have shown that students who participate in co–curricular activities have a marked improvement in the

Benefits Of Extracurricular Activities
In high school there are extracurricular activities and clubs that educators and parents feel offer many benefits to students. In contrary to this I do not
believe that the school should make students participate in afterschool activities against their will. Reasonings for this are: Many students have work
outside of school and have no time, Many students play sports which is already considered an extracurricular activity, some students will resent
extracurricular if they are forced to participate in them. On the other hand, colleges require a well–rounded student who has taken extracurriculars.
One reason that supports my claim is the fact that many high school students already work and they don't have the time for extracurriculars.
According to an article by NewsOK, it states, "The U.S. Census shows that more than 1 in 4 high school students age 16 and older work." This
shows us that a good amount of students are already occupied outside of school by work alone. Meaning that students who work would not have the
time to join extracurriculars and it would be unjust to force a student to join one. A student who works and has school is already learning very
valuable lessons and ideas about the real world and what it takes to keep and maintain a job and they pick up many skills by doing this. To force
them into extracurriculars to learn lessons and values wouldn't make sense because they are already learning everything they need to know to keep and
maintain a job in the real

to make them accademically active but also tomake them socially active by joining and participating on ectra–curricular activities. Participating

college, school doesn't only for academicenhancements and purposes, it always includes extra–curricular activities.Students who participate in
extracurricular activities generally benefit from the many opportunitiesafforded them. Benefits of participating in extracurricular activities included
having better grades,having higher standardized test scores and higher educational attainment, attending school moreregularly, and having higher a
higher selfconcept. Participants in out–of–school activities oftenlearned skills such as teamwork and leadership while decreasing the likelihood of
alcohol use andillicit drug use and related problem behaviors. Those who participate in out–of–school activitiesoften have higher grade point averages,
a decrease in absenteeism, and an increased connectednessto the school.Music, parental involvement, sports – all of these have an influence on how

instruction that impacts academic achievement.Students attending school who participates in some sort of organized activities which may
includeclubs, athletic opportunities, dance line or cheer teams, Scouts, drama or theater, youth groups,student council, and club sports. There is
substantial interest in how teenagers are spending their leisure time outside the school day, and what types of activities are important to their

The Importance Of Recess And Time For Physical Activity
Every day, adults manage their work days, which include breaks. While at work, adults do many tasks, but typically do not focus on one task for a
three hour period without taking a break. By not providing breaks or recess, children are asked to focus for a longer period of time than most adults
do in a day. Everyone benefits from breaks in the day and these coffee or recess breaks allow people to return to a task more focused and with
improved concentration. Removing recess and unstructured physical activity time from the school day can have a serious impact on children's health
and well–being. Recess and time for physical activity is not only important to the overall health of children, it also provides an outlet that helps with
the social, emotional, and cognitive development of children. In addition, it is also common for recess to be taken away from students who
misbehave. Unfortunately, it is these types of students who benefit most from recess, the physical activity, and breaks that is provided away from
classroom instruction ("Yay For Recess"). Physical activity and recess for elementary school children should remain a part of the school day to
improve academic performance and decrease negative behavior.
Over the last ten years, the debate about the effect of recess and physical activity have frequently changed. In the past, recess and physical activity
were a standard part of the school day. Currently, only 18% of states require elementary schools to have daily

These activities increase grades by allowing the students to take a time out, allowing the brain to relax and regenerate, but also gives students a
chance to stay on top of things. Keeping grades at a level of quality while also being involved in the student's own interests attracts "Colleges to look
at academic performances as well as a student's involvement on campus or in the community" ("Extracurricular Activities"). For college applicants, it
is important for students to be involved in activities outside of school, so colleges look at who was involved in activities such as clubs, sports (outside
and in school), leadership or ASB, yearbook, and much more. College's do this so that they know what type of student they are bringing onto their
campus. For this reason, during high school, being involved is important for colleges to evaluate what kind of student they are. Not only do students
involvement in extracurricular activities catch college's attention, but "the reason colleges and universities benefited from this competition between one
another because it constantly pushed them to strive to have better academics, higher student retention and graduation rates, and to always be aiming for

Second, as Harmer (2001, p. 275) suggests, they increase the self–confidence of hesitant learners, because in role–play and simulation activities, they
will have a different role and do not have to speak for themselves.
Storytelling
First year EFL Learners could create their own stories to tell their classmates or summarize a tale or story they heard from somebody else. Story
telling could help learners developing creative thinking and to know how to develop ideas from introduction, body, and then conclusion without
forgetting to include the characters and the setting. Learners also can tell riddles or jokes. For instance, at the beginning of each class, the teacher

The Importance Of Extracurricular Activities
Many students at all levels of education are involved in extracurricular activities they are a core part of the educational experience. But,are they helpful
or harmful to students education.To further look at this issue my group and I decided to reasearch this topic to find out if there was a correlation
between extracurricular activites and student success. Going into this topic our hypothesis was.If a student participates in extracurricular activities then
the student is more likely to succeed in school.
To gather data we created a survey.This survey included five questions,three strongly agree to strongly disagree,one yes/no question,and one multiple
choice question. We surveyed 44 students bothmale and female students grades ninth to eleventh as we felt that in these grades students would be most
involved in extracurricular activities.
The first question on the survey was. Do you participate in extracurricular activities? Which from the people surveyed was a unanimous yes. This was
expected due to the sheer number of people who participate in extracurricular activities as well as the variety of extracurricular activities.
Question two. How much time a day do you speand participating in extracurricular activites? For this question in general both males and females
from all the grades on average said three to four hours which was fairly expected as three to four hours is a long amount of time but not long as the
other choice five to six hours or as short as one to two

Provide real–world examples of activities where each dependency type is used: finish–to–start, start–to–start, finish–to–finish, and start–to–finish.
Finish–to–Start: the most common causal relationship hence no explanation is necessary for its usage.
Start–to–Finish: Rarely used but is useful when developing a schedule backwards from a fixed end date.
Start–to–Start: this represents a true relationship between two activities and has nothing to do with their predecessors. If I happen to have two tasks
that start at the same time because of a predecessor, that is better represented as two finish–to–start relationships (e.g. systems testing & developing

Once negotiated with management, this estimate becomes your budget. As the project evolves, additional information is discovered and further
estimates are produced. This is an extremely important process and we cannot emphasize enough the need for this re‐estimation or re‐budgeting
process at each phase of the project. In any case, for the purpose of this article, we will call the revised budget the "actual budget." Another standard
activity is to provide management with an expected cash flow. From a financial perspective this is an important activity, but it also can be used as your
cost expectation.
As the project progresses, you monitor the actual spending which becomes your actual cost. This cost divided by your actual budget is the % spent,
which can be compared to the expectation to provide an excellent guide to where you stand cost‐wise. However, with respect to progress, cost
comparison alone is limited. A trend of the cost spending is a useful tool. Actual cost monitoring has several constraints. The major limitation is the
availability of the data in real time. Indeed, most project accounting systems have major delays, usually due to the billing/payment system. It might take
more than a month before an invoice gets into the accounting system. The best way to resolve this problem is to use a parallel real‐time
approximated accounting system.
Invoices are accounted for as spent as soon as the work has been performed. Another inadequacy with

Critical Thinking Strategy:
During the lesson they will be confronted with questions about what they think about the different habitats. When they are actively engaged in an
activity, creating or doing something, they learn better and retain or remember what they learned; but more significantly, they develop an excitement

different habitats for the conservation of many species.

Why More Weekend Activities are Necessary
When walking around campus on the weekends, whether the weather is nice or not, you encounter very few people if any. You can't help
wondering where everyone is. You ponder maybe they went home or they are going off campus with their friends to go to the mall or party. It is
not beneficial that numerous people leave campus on the weekends. If students stay on campus, they are cooped up in their dorm rooms all day not
wanting to leave. A major aspect of college besides acquiring an education is getting to be social and connect with your school and the people around
you. That is not even possible, despite the fact that you hardly ever run across a good deal of people. The fact is, Walsh University does not provide
nearly enough weekend activities to keep students on campus. Weekend activitiesneed to be provided not only for the social aspect, but for an
abundance of more reasons. Students can be creative and relieve some of their weeks stress through activities. Furthermore, students can obtain some
physical activity or even learn some leadership skills. Having a movie night each Friday night, hosting parties that don't involve alcohol, or even
putting on a Dodgeball tournament in the gym, can help keep students on campus. Providing more activities will help keep students on campus and

As I mentioned earlier, my friend Brandon attends the Naval Academy. His story of getting in is amazing but there's one thing I want to point out.
One of the biggest deciding factors for him wasn't his grades, but rather the activities he engaged in. The Naval Academy saw his grades and realized
they were decent grades, but they also realized he was involved in baseball, ROTC, multiple bands and his classes and that's what persuaded the Naval
Academy to accept him. What if a student has straight B's all through High school, but was involved in tons of after school stuff? Does that mean he
can't make it into a prestigious university? Absolutely not. Extracurricular activities can very easily be a deciding factor in earning scholarships. One of
the most over–looked but certainly not least important benefit of engaging in after school activities is the help it gives in creating a work resume.
When you fill out a resume, it asks for a plethora of things but one thing it asks for is activities you engage in. Everyone stresses out over creating a

Extracurricular Activities Essay
Have you ever wanted your school to be involved in all of your extracurricular activities? It could help you get scholarships and have an impressive
academic resume but it can also have many consequences too. Schools should not be involved in student's extracurricular activities because it can
make grades suffer, make the student stressed and cause health problems. Schools should not have any involvement with student's extracurricular
activities because it can stress onto to the student. A student can be too focused on doing one out of their three extracurricular activities that they
forgot to study for their huge Unit test and complete their homework that is due tomorrow. The student can start to stress about how they maybe
will not do as well on the test as they hoped for because they didn't have a lot of time to study for it. For example, I tend to go to junior class
meetings after school and they usually end around 3:30. My walk home is 20 minutes long and I would get home around 4 but if the meeting runs
longer I don't get home until close to 5. I would have so much homework to do and would have to study for test and quizzes coming up and it would
start to stress me out because I would have to stay up late. After that, I would stress about me staying up late to complete everything because I know the
next day I would be extremely tired in school. Schools having any involvement in a student's extracurricular activities can sometimes be draining and

The Benefits Of Extracurricular Activities
The benefits of extracurricular activities is extensive. The positive effects that extracurricular activities have on students are behavior, better grades,
school completion, positive aspects to become successful adults, and a social aspect. (Massoni, 2011). There are greater positives than negatives with
participation in extracurricular activities.
One benefit is to learn about time management and prioritizing things in their life (Burgess, 2009). Adolescents need to learn how to be a handle the
multiple responsibilities which will give them vital experience by participating in these activities (Burgess, 2009). Participating in extracurricular
activities provides positive aspects that students need to become productive students and adults (Massoni, 2011). By participating in extracurricular
activities students learn lessons in leadership, teamwork, organization, analytical thinking, problem solving, time management, learning to juggle many
tasks at once which can allow them to discover their talents at young age for preparation in their future (Massoni, 2011).
When a student decides they want to join an extracurricular activity, they look for one that interests them and one that they like or enjoy. It is important
for students to join and participate in extracurricular activities because it helps the student when they apply to colleges (Burgess, 2009). By being able

don't provide summaries and shreds of information; instead, it they are a combination of numerous real life situations. In my opinion, making

Essay On Extracurricular Activities
Extracurriculars Lead to Extra Success
Noah, an experienced employee, received a manager position at a big construction company after 24 years of working his way up the employment
ladder. After receiving the position, he faced many issues such as confrontations with co–workers and issues with job production. As he faced these
issues, Noah was able to look back at his many years of wrestling, and remember how he handled confrontations with teammates as well as handling
the agony of defeat. Having gone through these similar experiences, Noah was able to handle his work issues with confidence. This is an example of
how important extracurricular activities can be in a person's life. In order to completely prepare for real life situations, children should participate in
some form of extracurricular activity. In addition to preparing children for real life situations, extracurricular activities are the best way to improve
students participation academically. The following statistic serves as an example. "The probability that the typical person in the sample would drop
out of school is .0487, but if this same person participated in athletics, the estimated probability would be .0299." (Holloway) When students
participate in extracurriculars, they are often forced to talk to others and form relationships with people. These relationships will most likely improve
academic participation because the kids will feel more comfortable going to school with someone they know. The more comfortable a student feels
during school, the more likely they are to put in more work academically and ultimately be more successful. Along with feeling more confident,
extracurricular activities keep kids from getting in trouble. Kids are less likely to be doing something they shouldn't if they focus on something like an
extracurricular activity. Holloway also writes: "Recent research suggests that participation in extracurricular activities may increase students' sense of
engagement or attachment to their school, and thereby decrease the likelihood of school failure and dropping out". School pride is something that is
promoted throughout all of adolescence. Those students that feel more involved in their school, are less likely to drop out

Effects Of Curricular Activities On Adolescents

  • 1. Effects Of Curricular Activities On Adolescents The Effects of Extra–Curricular Activities on Adolescents Programs that go beyond the classroom are designed to enrich the lives of students across the globe. "They enrich the lives of the student, their families and our communities. These activities create well rounded children who learn what their interests and talents are because they have been exposed to such opportunities."(Extracurricular activities, Anonymous) Parents tend to push their child to study more when in fact, they should encourage their child to involve themselves in activities beyond a daily study session with their textbook. While focusing on studies inside of the classroom is important, participating in groups outside of the classroom is vital. After school programs promote the social skills of adolescents, good grades and behavior, self–esteem, discipline, and an overall positive outlook on life and what the future may hold. Although extracurricular activities are great, they also hold some downsides, such as putting extra frustration on the student, stress, and financial barriers. Extra–curricular activities are built for the embetterment of today's children and the community as a whole. When a child joins a group outside of the classroom, they allow themselves step outside of their comfort zone and connect with different people who have similar interests. This in turn builds life–long friendships, which can promote ones motivation, lessen grief, and keep one socially engaged, which is good for the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. The Importance of Extracurricular Activities The struggle is real. Maintaining the three most important aspects of teenage life – grades, sleep, and social life – is hard enough, but when you throw in the stress of having to add more onto your plate for a better future, it can be almost suffocating. It is possible to only have to worry about making the top grades to be automatically admitted into a college and then you're free from having to add more to your plate, but does that have lasting benefits like branching out into extracurriculars does? Being smart can only take a person so far in life. Learning skills like time management, organization, and leadership are vital to a person's success in the future; all of which can be learned through the experiences that extracurriculars provide. Therefore, being involved in extracurricular activities can prove to have stronger and a broader spectrum of benefits than solely focusing on grades. Extracurriculars teach students lessons that will last them a lifetime, not a semester. "Students who have active lives learn very quickly how to manage their time" (Kelley). This is true because "students learn organizational skills from having to wisely budget their time" (Kelley). The student that sits at home every night simply studying and doing their work to make the best grades, learn only the words written on the paper. As for the student that spends every day at after school practices, meetings, and going to events on the weekends, they learn from the experiences they have. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. Soccer is a Terrific Extra-curricular Activity Extra–curricular activities are an integral part of any student's school experience. They are widely regarded as important, if not more important than academics. Furthermore, contrary to popular belief, extra–curricular activities do not need to be sports in particular but can either be community service, or an "academic" club like chess. Soccer is one of the best extra–curricular activities. Soccer can help you get a good job, gain admission into a better college, or network. First, networking (or "socializing") is an extremely important activity that many people do unconsciously over the course of their lives. The act of networking allows people to discover new opportunities that may have been unavailable to them if not for "that one person." For example, if Mick had not known Keith from college they would not have founded The Rolling Stones. Networking also allows people to make friends and expose themselves to the plethora of cultures and customs from around the world. For example, when I played soccer at the Stouffville soccer club. I was able to meet different people from Italy, Saudi Arabia, France, and Mexico amongst others. Furthermore, networking can also help one find a job or get into a college. For example to get into a college people are usually required to have letters of recommendation. A well–networked person will inevitably have a larger selection of strong recommendations to choose from due to his or her large number of contacts. Secondly, participating ...

  • 4. The Benefits Of Extracurricular Activities In the United States, 57 percent of high school students participate in at least one kind of extracurricular activity (Bureau UC). Through extracurricular activities, youth have opportunities to develop very important life skills. Through participating in an activity that requires time outside of the normal school hours, students can learn to manage their time more efficiently. They must also develop rigorous study habits to perform well in the classroom as well as in their chosen activity or activities. Through team oriented activities and clubs, students must learn to work with others and attain interpersonal skills, along with a solid work ethic. Such activities provide a different type of environment than the classroom provides, and help them to become comfortable in various situations. There are many proven benefits when teens participate in extracurricular activities; such benefits include improved physical well–being, higher self–esteem, academic excellence, important social skills, and preparation to succeed not only school, but other settings as well. Extracurricular activities are activities that are facilitated by adult supervisors and are conducted outside of school hours. Examples of some such activities include sports teams, debate teams, choir, orchestra, band, dance, cheer, and numerous clubs. Through participation in extracurricular activities, youth can develop good health habits, even if the activity or club does not include physical activity. In the world today, many kids waste a great deal of time just looking at the screen of their smartphone, or sitting in front of a television set. A lot of time may also be spent out with friends. When kids are out participating in different after–school activities, they are not only practicing good habits and spending their time on positive developmental activities, but they can discover activities that they really like and may not otherwise have tried. They can find something that interests them and spend time practicing skills and discovering their passions. Through extracurricular activities, students have opportunities to learn things outside the classroom in a hands–on experience. Being involved in these activities enhances intrinsic motivation ...

  • 5. Sports: A Research on Physical Activities Essay 1.0INTRODUCTION Topic related to sport, participation, undergraduate students, and their motivation is identified since this issue discussed highly depended on individual opinion on physical activity, be it as their hobby or not, while difficulty to understand the issue is moderate without much theoretical and highly jargon to the group. BACKGROUND STUDY The terms "physical activity" and "exercise" have often been used interchangeably. Physical activity is "bodily movement that is produced by the contraction of skeletal muscle and that substantially increases energy expenditure". Although the terms are similar in that they involve any bodily movement that expends energy, exercise is a subset of physical activity that has been... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Research shows that students who do regular physical activity demonstrate improved academic achievement and increased productivity, and are able to devote attention to tasks for longer periods of time. There is also evidence that students show improved behaviour and self–esteem, and are able to engage in positive social interaction. Establishing healthy habits and routines in a supportive environment can also enable students to develop an improved sense of belonging and connectedness to the school environment. Positive experiences with physical activity at a young age also help lay the foundation for healthy, productive lives. Research indicates that today's children are in danger of developing serious diseases, owing to the effects of obesity, which is one result of a lack of physical activity. Regular physical activity can promote the growth of strong bones and muscles, help to develop good posture and balance, strengthen the heart and lungs, and generally help to improve and maintain fitness. With improved fitness, there is less likelihood of developing chronic disease. Improved health and fitness can also result in improved self–esteem and self–confidence. In this study, we focus on students drive on physical activity as leisure–time activity, as defined, physical activity as an option whenever they are free. This study help to ...

  • 6. The Benefits Of Extracurricular Activities Despite the belief of extracurricular activities harming students, they can actually be beneficial. Extracurricular activities help students by helping them learn how to manage time more efficiently and improve academics. There are social benefits, benefits outside of school, and benefits after school and they help develop students and make them became what they will be in the future. Extracurricular activities more definitely benefit the students and even the school. Extracurricular activities can help students by helping them learn how to manage time more efficiently and improve academics. Students learn how to balance their activities and school work appropriately, this helps the student get their homework done on time and limit procrastination (Jackson). With less time to do homework, students work more efficiently, this limits those late night homework sessions, because students will make sure their work is done. When participating in an extracurricular activity, students might find that they have less time to work, so to compensate they plan out when they will complete their homework, showing responsibility, and time management (Why Extracurricular). Responsibility and good time management are beneficial because it shows that you know how to manage your time to complete things before they are due. According to Nicole Jackson, "Studies have shown that students who participate in co–curricular activities have a marked improvement in the grades. This can be attributed ...

  • 7. Benefits Of Extracurricular Activities In high school there are extracurricular activities and clubs that educators and parents feel offer many benefits to students. In contrary to this I do not believe that the school should make students participate in afterschool activities against their will. Reasonings for this are: Many students have work outside of school and have no time, Many students play sports which is already considered an extracurricular activity, some students will resent extracurricular if they are forced to participate in them. On the other hand, colleges require a well–rounded student who has taken extracurriculars. One reason that supports my claim is the fact that many high school students already work and they don't have the time for extracurriculars. According to an article by NewsOK, it states, "The U.S. Census shows that more than 1 in 4 high school students age 16 and older work." This shows us that a good amount of students are already occupied outside of school by work alone. Meaning that students who work would not have the time to join extracurriculars and it would be unjust to force a student to join one. A student who works and has school is already learning very valuable lessons and ideas about the real world and what it takes to keep and maintain a job and they pick up many skills by doing this. To force them into extracurriculars to learn lessons and values wouldn't make sense because they are already learning everything they need to know to keep and maintain a job in the real ...

The Benefits Of Extracurricular Activities In School One of the parents' greatest achievements and immediate responsibility is to sent their children toschool but sending them to school doesn't only mean to make them accademically active but also tomake them socially active by joining and participating on ectra–curricular activities. Participating onextra–curricular activities contributes a lot and helps the child molds their social being. From preparatory to elementary to high school and even to college, school doesn't only for academicenhancements and purposes, it always includes extra–curricular activities.Students who participate in extracurricular activities generally benefit from the many opportunitiesafforded them. Benefits of participating in extracurricular activities included having better grades,having higher standardized test scores and higher educational attainment, attending school moreregularly, and having higher a higher selfconcept. Participants in out–of–school activities oftenlearned skills such as teamwork and leadership while decreasing the likelihood of alcohol use andillicit drug use and related problem behaviors. Those who participate in out–of–school activitiesoften have higher grade point averages, a decrease in absenteeism, and an increased connectednessto the school.Music, parental involvement, sports – all of these have an influence on how children performacademically. The way children choose to spend their free time can affect their school performance;it is not simply traditional in–class instruction that impacts academic achievement.Students attending school who participates in some sort of organized activities which may includeclubs, athletic opportunities, dance line or cheer teams, Scouts, drama or theater, youth groups,student council, and club sports. There is substantial interest in how teenagers are spending their leisure time outside the school day, and what types of activities are important to their development.Through my research, I found out that there are studies that support either being involved, beingover–involved, or not being involved at all in extracurricular activities and how participation canimpact what becomes of teens in the future based on participation in activities outside the schoolday.Research indicates ...

  • 11. The Importance Of Recess And Time For Physical Activity Every day, adults manage their work days, which include breaks. While at work, adults do many tasks, but typically do not focus on one task for a three hour period without taking a break. By not providing breaks or recess, children are asked to focus for a longer period of time than most adults do in a day. Everyone benefits from breaks in the day and these coffee or recess breaks allow people to return to a task more focused and with improved concentration. Removing recess and unstructured physical activity time from the school day can have a serious impact on children's health and well–being. Recess and time for physical activity is not only important to the overall health of children, it also provides an outlet that helps with the social, emotional, and cognitive development of children. In addition, it is also common for recess to be taken away from students who misbehave. Unfortunately, it is these types of students who benefit most from recess, the physical activity, and breaks that is provided away from classroom instruction ("Yay For Recess"). Physical activity and recess for elementary school children should remain a part of the school day to improve academic performance and decrease negative behavior. Over the last ten years, the debate about the effect of recess and physical activity have frequently changed. In the past, recess and physical activity were a standard part of the school day.

Over time, schools have developed extracurricular activities, such as sports, clubs, academies, and so on. These activities are not a part of school curriculum, but it is part of the educational experience for students because of the benefits they have. In an article, "International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention," the author states that "Adolescents have a significant amount of free time available to them and research demonstrates that they are increasingly capable of self–directed actions in their search for identity"(Annu and Sunita).

These activities increase grades by allowing the students to take a time out, allowing the brain to relax and regenerate, but also gives students a chance to stay on top of things. Keeping grades at a level of quality while also being involved in the student's own interests attracts "Colleges to look at academic performances as well as a student's involvement on campus or in the community" ("Extracurricular Activities"). For college applicants, it is important for students to be involved in activities outside of school, so colleges look at who was involved in activities such as clubs, sports (outside and in school), leadership or ASB, yearbook, and much more. College's do this so that they know what type of student they are bringing onto their campus. For this reason, during high school, being involved is important for colleges to evaluate what kind of student they are. Not only do students involvement in extracurricular activities catch college's attention, but "the reason colleges and universities benefited from this competition between one another because it constantly pushed them to strive to have better academics, higher student retention and graduation rates, and to always be aiming for higher college ranking, program ranking, etc" (Jansen).

However, with respect to progress, cost comparison alone is limited. A trend of the cost spending is a useful tool. Actual cost monitoring has several constraints.

Essay On Extracurricular Activities Extracurriculars Lead to Extra Success Noah, an experienced employee, received a manager position at a big construction company after 24 years of working his way up the employment ladder. After receiving the position, he faced many issues such as confrontations with co–workers and issues with job production. As he faced these issues, Noah was able to look back at his many years of wrestling, and remember how he handled confrontations with teammates as well as handling the agony of defeat. Having gone through these similar experiences, Noah was able to handle his work issues with confidence. This is an example of how important extracurricular activities can be in a person's life. In order to completely prepare for real life situations, children should participate in some form of extracurricular activity. In addition to preparing children for real life situations, extracurricular activities are the best way to improve students participation academically. The following statistic serves as an example. "The probability that the typical person in the sample would drop out of school is .0487, but if this same person participated in athletics, the estimated probability would be .0299." (Holloway) When students participate in extracurriculars, they are often forced to talk to others and form relationships with people. These relationships will most likely improve academic participation because the kids will feel more comfortable going to school with someone they know. The more comfortable a student feels during school, the more likely they are to put in more work academically and ultimately be more successful. Along with feeling more confident, extracurricular activities keep kids from getting in trouble. Kids are less likely to be doing something they shouldn't if they focus on something like an extracurricular activity. Holloway also writes: "Recent research suggests that participation in extracurricular activities may increase students' sense of engagement or attachment to their school, and thereby decrease the likelihood of school failure and dropping out".
