Additionally, sports activities can help reduce stress and increase mental well-being, which can improve motivation and academic performance. The journal also discusses strategies and approaches that can be used to integrate physical education into the college curriculum. Some of these strategies include expanding sports programs, providing access to adequate sports facilities, and enhancing support and motivation for students involved in sports activities.
