Abstract:
Aim: The aim of this mini review is to investigate the positive impact of physical education and sports programs on bullying prevention, social responsibility development, academic performance, and prosocial behavior in adolescent students.
Material and methods: The material of the present study was exclusively Internet-based. The method was the comprehensive electronic literature search in the databases PubMed and Google Scholar from 10 May 2024 to 10 June 2024. Criteria for inclusion of studies were : a) literature written in English, b) literature published from 2020 to 2024, c) studies that involved adolescent students, d) studies that had keywords in the title and/or abstract. Criteria for exclusion of studies were :a) reviews, b) conference papers, c) book chapters, d) books, e) short surveys , d) articles and documents written in languages other than English.
Results: The review of the literature on the positive impact of physical education and sports programs revealed that these programs play a crucial role in bullying prevention, social responsibility development, academic performance, and prosocial behavior in adolescent students. Studies highlighted the importance of teachers' socialization experiences in shaping their attitudes and responses to bullying, the effectiveness of teaching personal and social responsibility in reducing bullying behaviors, the positive influence of a hybrid Positive Youth Development (PYD) program on personal and social responsibility in youth volleyball players, the correlation between sports participation and prosocial behavior in junior high school students, the longitudinal relationships between sports activities and academic performance in adolescents, and the impact of sport education on sportsmanship orientations in high school students.
Conclusions: The findings suggest that physical education and sports programs have a multifaceted positive impact on adolescent students, contributing to bullying prevention, social responsibility development, academic performance improvement, and prosocial behavior enhancement. These programs not only foster physical health but also contribute to social and emotional well-being, highlighting the importance of integrating such programs into educational settings to support comprehensive development in students. Further research is needed to explore the specific mechanisms through which physical education and sports programs influence these outcomes and to develop evidence-based interventions to maximize their benefits for adolescent students.
