Sports and its impact on academic achievement
| Resumo: | The objective of this work project is to study the relationship between the regular practice of sports in higher education and students’ success. More and more, the practice of sports is seen as a vehicle to enhance the quality of life. However, it may be the case that the time spent practicing sports harms the academic life of a student, particularly on highly demanding degrees. In order to analyze this issue, a survey was made to Nova School of Business and Economics students and three regression models were estimated, to study what influences three variables: GPA, the number of semesters that a student takes to finish its undergraduate program and GPA for students who already finished its undergraduate program. |
