Results showed that approximately 62% of U.S. students (70%
of male students, 53% of female students) participated on
one or more sports teams in school or nonschool settings.
With few exceptions, these students also reported less risky
health behaviors than nonparticipants, including better diet
(higher consumption of fruit and vegetables) and lower incidence
of cigarette smoking, illegal drug use, and sexual intercourse
in the previous three months. The authors make their findings
clear, concluding: “Sports participation is common among U.S.
high-school students and is associated with numerous positive
health benefits and few negative health behaviors.”
