Abstract
This study investigates the effects of athletic participation on the physical fitness, mental well-being, and overall college experience of students, as well as its contributions to long-term health and wellness. A pure quantitative research design was employed, utilizing standardized questionnaires and fitness assessments to collect data from a sample of college students. Results indicate that students who participate in athletics show significantly higher levels of physical fitness, particularly in cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, and flexibility, compared to non-athletes. Moreover, athletes reported lower levels of stress and anxiety and higher life satisfaction. Participation in sports also enhanced key aspects of the overall college experience, such as social interaction, time management, and academic engagement. Furthermore, athletic involvement positively influenced students’ long-term health perceptions and commitment to maintaining fitness routines beyond college. These findings underscore the multifaceted benefits of athletic participation, supporting its role in promoting both immediate and lifelong health and wellness.
