Having a good study habits helps the students balance their academic performance with their co-curricular activities. Students can get a head start on their work, can get enough sleep at night and reduce the stress when they have time management. Having good study habits can make student athletes accomplish their priorities and responsibilities on time. Study habits help to discipline the student athletes. This study will help students, who are part of co-curricular activities, to manage their time and right balance between having fun, having a quiet time, and having time socializing. Student athletes can be successful if they have study habits because they discover and learn more skills just to study. Study habits help to discipline the student athletes The significance of this study to the student athletes of CSR Makati is to know the ways of managing their studies while doing co-curricular activities. At the sa me time, having good grades in their academics. If they are going to do their responsibilities well, it will help them to have enough sleep that they need and also lower their stress level. The student athletes can achieve their full potential than the non-athletes because they discover and learn more about better ways of managing time to study and do their activities because the student’s athletes will practice their...

...Academic Performances of Pacians Student Athletes and Non-Athletes as Influenced by their Study Habits CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION “Learning by Doing” John Dewey “How do study habits affect academic performance?” It is a positive statement when one says that man of modern society is so advanced in education, but won’t mind nor think about what steps he could make or trace what good he could do for his fellowmen. Students are the most essential assets for any educational institute. The social and economic development of the country is directly linked with student academic performance. The student’s performances place an important role in producing the best quality graduates who will become great leader and manpower for the country, thus, responsible for the country’s economic and social development. So, the parent and guardians must do their responsibilities and roles to give what they need in education. Study Habit is the act of devoting time and attention to gaining knowledge usually done regularly. Student grades are one of the primary indicators of such learning. And the extent of student’s learning in academics may be determined by the grades a student earns for a period of learning has been done. If a student earns better or high grades it is concluded that they may also have learned a lot while poor or low grades indicate lesser learning. However, many experiences and studies found out that there are also several factors that affects the grades of students;...

The athlete tends to grab the easiest on the go food for their meal; little do they know that this lack of nutritious food can affect their performance. Student athletes need regular well balanced meals and snacks to maintain the high energy demands of training, competition and the rigor of an academic program (Ziegler et al 2005) showed how the increased competitiveness of the sport raises concerns about the health of these athletes .For example nutrient intake was...

...CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND INTRODUCTION To study and learn is basically our main reason why we enter school, but to make this schooling fun and memorable we tend to join in different activities which we think that can enhance our skills as a person. Most teenagers nowadays engage themselves on extracurricular activities on school such as sports. Many teens in high school want to try out for sports for some reasons. A lot of them try because they think it will make them popular or give them lots of benefits. For them sports are a healthy, fun and beneficial way to stay in shape, meet new friends and pass the after-school hours. This may sound cool at first but there are young people that encounter problems regarding their sports and studies on the latter part of their career. One of the biggest problems of student athletes is maintaining their study habits in the right track and this research will help the readers to evaluate the study habits of young people who engage themselves in these kinds of activities. As a varsity player, it is a big issue on how they handle their time between their chosen sport and their studies. A student athlete may encounter some difficulties on maintaining good study habits for some reasons which will also be presented in this research paper. Most of the varsity players in St. James Academy do manage their time well because they need to maintain good grades for them to continue their athletic career but on the...

... there are so many factors influencing the ability of students to cultivate effective and efficient study habit. (Ozmer 2005) emphasized the importance of environmental influence as a major factor in the development of students studying habit and academic performance. .NCAA Division I athletic programs are usually the largest and best funded. Many of the student-athletes receive full or partial scholarships. NCAA Division I programs also have high regional, and often high national, visibility. Athletes in these programs face a great deal of public scrutiny. These are usually high-power programs and some of the issues of student-athletes may bring to the sport psychologist includes worries over maintaining scholarships, pressures from coaches, and exposure in the media. NCAA Division I schools are often “pressure cookers” for athletes, especially in the revenue sports of football, basketball and baseball. Many schools also specialize in one or two nonrevenue sports and pressures on athletes in those sports can be substantial. Working with College Student-Athletes for many students-athletes, starting college brings about substantial psychological change and adjustment (Gould & Finch, 1991). The demands placed on students-athletes (e. g., academic pressures, sport performance, training, travel) usually exceed the demands experienced by non-athlete students. Students-athletes face a variety of developmental issues and have a number of special pressures, including maintaining...

...Background of the study The question in this research: Is playing computer games affect the student’s study habits? But then choosing only a specific title which is, “Effects of playing NBA2k Series to basketball athletes”, (how this affect their play in real basketball games). Basically the concern is when these athletes play NBA2k, seeing the moves of the players in that games and applying these specific moves or strategies to the way the athletes play basketball. This could also be applied in other sports like FIFA games. Statement of the problem Computer games are growing fast today. We all see that children are mimicking some games into their real life situations in either good or bad way. One example could be the game “ The Sims” in which people use their imaginations in building their dream houses in the game and maybe some may copy the blueprint of the structure and put it into reality. Will the game NBA2k be like the game Sims that athletes may use the play style of the players in that game in applying it to their play style on the way they play their games? Significance of the study The research is for the athletes who play basketball and for the people who are interested to learn playing this sport, by applying what they learn from the game. This might help the athletes improve their skills and strategies in their actual games. Assumption of the research The expected result of the research is that: playing the game NBA2k really helps athletes improve their...

...Students Victoria Lyles-Savage Professor Stone SOW 301-01 Drugs and College Student In today’s society there are a number of college students and teens, who misuse prescription drugs for nonmedical reasons along with street drugs such as marijuana, ecstasy, heroin and steroids. Drugs and alcohol use on college campuses is universal. This has been an epidemic that has grown across the United States. According to Yusko,Buckman, White, and Pandina; alcohol and drug use in college is one of the more serious problems faced by colleges today .Another study stated that 90 percent of teens said they have used alcohol, over 50 percent have used marijuana, 17 percent used cocaine and 13 percent have used some form of hallucinogenic drug. Athletes are at risk to drug use because of the increased physical demand of athletics and heightens stress and time constraints placed upon them by fulfilling the dual role of being an athlete and student (Yusko, Buckman, White, Pandina, 2008). Peer pressure in itself is an epidemic and strongly impacts nonathletic individuals as well. The use of prescriptions drugs for nonmedical use is higher than are use of cocaine, heroin, hallucinogens, ecstasy, and inhalants all combined. Prescription Opioids result in more drug abuse deaths than both cocaine and heroin combined (Katelyn Rozenbroek& Rothstein, 2011).There are a lot of factors that drive teens and college students to turn to drugs and alcohol. The highest rates of prescription drugs...

...People need to realize that not all athletes are dumb or do not want to learn, because high school and college sports require a certain G.P.A. and good grades in order to stay on the team. Also, most athletes do not like being part of the “dumb jock” stereotype, which drives them to be better and do their work in school. There are multiple factors that play into education, which is why sports should not be blamed if a student is receiving a bad grade. For example, Singleton, a principle for 15 years reasons “The kids were in control…The teachers were not prepared” (4). Sadly, in some educational systems, teachers are hired who are not certified in the areas they need to be or are not prepared for their classes. Students are blamed because of this and their grades suffer. This means that some will point the finger on the students or in this case sports. It is the...

...In today’s stressful world, sports may be the only way to calm down. Although many people believe sports are the cause of failing grades; multiple studies have shown that physically active students have higher grades. Therefore, schools should keep after-school sports because they relieve stress, players can develop good teamwork habits, and they can help students academically. Students have stress; sports can be the antidote for the tension. According to Tim O´Shei, who wrote an article on why schools should keep sports, “when you are stressed your brain releases hormones that can interfere with your ability to sleep and concentrate,” “physical activity can be the antidote” (12). In addition, he states that stepping away from school work for a practice can help improve athletes’ minds (O´Shei, 12). This data proves that students who participate in sports have less stress, so they can learn freely and participate more in school. This is exciting news for any athlete trying to balance sports and stress....

...Twenty-two percent of student-athletes at the University of Michigan’s Monitoring the Future claim to have used or smoked a drug within the past year compared to the average 33% of non-athletes. As well as drugs like marijuana and others, cigarettes and tobacco have also dropped in percentages within the past years. Currently only six percent of women athletes smoke. National Collegiate Athletic Association found that "approximately sixty percent of student-athletes reported that they believe drug testing among student-athletes should continue and that imposing penalties would be fair and appropriate." (NCAA Student-Athlete Substance Use Study: Executive Summary August 2014) Many children believe that sports are harmful and dangerous because of a popular belief. But, many new studies are showing parents the factual side of physical activities and the benefits that come from it. Many children believe that sports are threatening/dangersome because of a popular belief, but many new studies show parents the factual side of physical activities and the benefits that come from it. Studies conducted on sports show that young children who participate in these physical activities are more than likely to have a higher self-esteem. The competitive nature in sports can help the child develop as a person and as an athlete. As well as themselves, children get confidence boosting reinforcement from coaches, parents or other family members, and other athletes. Involvement in team sports has...

...Dynamic stretches and calisthenics are more appropriate to the warm up as they help reduce muscle stiffness. Static exercises do not reduce muscle stiffness. The quick jog allows all the muscles that will be used in running, to become active. This allows them to prepare for exercise by increasing the blood flow to these muscles; this will allow the athlete to exercise, without the risk of injury. The static stretches allow the athlete to slowly build up the intensity of the activities, by doing static stretches before calisthenics; this guarantees the muscles to be completely warm before strenuous full body movements. Each stretch allows major muscles that are being used in running, to be warm and have a steady flow of oxygenated blood to the working muscles. Stretching all these muscles also reduces the likelihood of getting a cramp while running. The calisthenics allow the already warmed up body to experience full body movements without the possibility of...

...ingestion of above normal amounts of carbohydrate to increase muscle glycogen stores prior to physical activity. This method is often used by elite athletes to improve their performance. With respect to cyclists, the increase in performance is measured experimentally as a decrease in time to complete a race or time trial, an increase time to fatigue, and by decreased power output. There is no singular method for CHO loading. The “first” standard protocol for CHO loading was developed by Bergstrom and Hultman (1), in which the athlete exercised to deplete glycogen from the muscle, then consumed excess CHO over 3 days, without exercising. More recently an exercise tapering protocol has been developed, in which the athlete reduces the amount of exercise being done over 3 days, and does no exercise on day 3 (2). This reduction in exercise is followed by 3, or up to 6, days of loading. However in both versions, and the many modifications thereof, the athlete’s regular training protocol is interrupted. Two recent articles reported the success of consuming 12g/kg of lean body mass high CHO, high glycemic index foods, for 24 hours (3, 4). Both studies showed an increase in muscle glycogen levels at levels equal to or higher than those of a 2-6 day regimen. However an increase in performance was not examined in either study. Thus the athlete must consider which protocol to use, and what specific CHO [low or high glycemic index carbohydrates] to consume. In cyclists, the benefit of CHO loading...

While several studies show that sports participation causes children to do worse in school then those that are not participating in sports, it is unclear if this affiliation is a result of negative academics from the child, or due to the impact of the sports on the kids minds and ability to participate in school. The general focus of this study is on how athletes and non-athlete’s grade are during the school year. The study will examine the effects of sports participation on many different measures of their academic performance. Participants (N-40) will be sent an online...

...middle ages. It’s at that time in our lives when people close to us are more likely to come down with a particular disease or a condition such as high blood pressure. Some of these are genetic but some are thought to be the result of a poor lifestyle. Therefore, developing good eating habits and a regular exercise routine as a young adult, can help carry those good habits into adulthood. One of the easiest ways to develop good habits at a young age is to participate in youth sports. Participation in youth sports results in a healthier adult lifestyle as it gets you used to eating healthy and exercising, forms good daily habits and despite some negative risks, has positive psychological and social benefits that you take into adulthood. Throughout youth sports its encouraged to eat right, hydrate and exercise. Some youth even see a personal trainer to assist with strength and flexibility. Some coaches even require that their team participate in specialized training. Therefore, doing these things either on a daily basis or at least a few times per week will result in forming good habits. “A habit is a practice that you engage in on a regular basis” (Clarke; livestrong.com). Developing healthy habits lays the foundation for routine and also has a big impact on emotional fitness. It allows for good mental health and a restful sleep, which helps avoid depression (Clarke; livestrong.com) I, myself have witnessed this first hand.
