Encouraging Further Research

While this study provides valuable insights into the benefits of school sports for low-income students, further research is needed to explore the long-term impacts and identify best practices for implementation. Practitioners can contribute to this effort by collaborating with researchers, sharing their experiences, and advocating for more comprehensive studies in this area.

Conclusion

Removing financial barriers to school sports can significantly enhance the educational and health outcomes of low-income students. By leveraging the findings from this study, practitioners can improve their skills, advocate for inclusive policies, and encourage further research to ensure all students have the opportunity to benefit from school sports.
