SUMMARY:
This study examined the statistical correlation between the frequency of
physical activity and participation in sports with mental well-being, including
anxiety and depression, in adolescents. The method of data collection for this
study was a survey of 5,661 high-school students in the Republic of Ireland.
The study found that only a small number of adolescents were getting the
recommended amount of physical activity and that the percentage of students
getting the recommended amount of physical activity decreased with age. A
statistical analysis of the data showed a positive correlation between physical
activity and well-being. It also showed a negative correlation between physical
activity and anxiety or depression. Furthermore, there was an added benefit in
both cases with participation in a group sport.
The authors of this academic article conclude their study makes a case for the
need to increase the frequency of physical activity for youths in schools and
communities. One of the ways the authors recommend increasing exposure is
by increasing engagement and retention of adolescents in sports (team or
individual).
CREDIBILITY:
▪ Currency –This academic journal article was published on September
29, 2020. It has not been updated since then.
▪ Relevance –This study is related to my topic because it highlights that
physical activity and mental wellbeing have a statistical correlation.
▪ Accuracy –This article contains 48 sources in the Reference section,
which is an appropriate amount. The author obviously did their
research.
▪ Authority –The authors, John Murphy and others, are affiliated with
the Dublin City University Institute in the School of Arts, Education
and Movement and the School of Nursing, Psychotherapy and
Community Health. John Murphy’s contact information (email) was
made available with the article.
▪ Purpose – The purpose of this article is to advocate for increased
exposure to physical activity for youth, because higher physical activity
is shown to have a positive impact on mental wellbeing. The intended
audience for this is community and school leaders who can make those
decisions.
SUPPORTING CLAIM #2: PARTICIPATION IN YOUTH SPORTS
SUPPORTS INCREASED PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT.

participation on physical activity, fitness and body fat during childhood and adolescence: The LOOK Longitudinal
Study. Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, 19(5), 400-406. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsams.2015.04.008
SUMMARY:
This was a longitudinal study; the study evaluated the changes in fitness, body
fat, and physical activity of 289 individuals (134 boys and 155 girls) from
2005-2013. Participants were assessed at 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 16 years old.
Data gathered for this study included parent questionnaires, pedometer and
accelerometer information, and body composition.
There were many observations noted from this study:
•The amount of time children spent sedentary increases with age, however
youth involved in sports spend less time sedentary.
• Cardio-Respiratory fitness increased with age in all adolescents with
children involved in sports staying ahead of children not involved in sports.
• For boys, the percentage of body fat increases until puberty and then
decreases. Boys involved with sports have a smaller percentage of body fat.
• For girls, the percentage of body fat increases throughout adolescents,
however girls involved in sports have a lower percentage of body fat.
• In all categories, there was less of a difference in girls involved with sports
vs not involved with sports.
CREDIBILITY:
▪ Currency – This article was published in 2015.
▪ Relevance – This study is related to my topic because it supports my
assertation that participation in youth sports can positively impact
physical development during adolescence.
▪ Accurate – The reference page of this academic journal article contains
28 sources. During my research I saw this source was cited many
times.
▪ Authority – There are multiple qualified authors on this article. They all
are affiliated with universities in Australia. According to ResearchGate,
Rohan Telford has 57 publications, Rachel Davey has 182 publications,
Thomas Cochrane has 134 publications, and Lisa Olive has 73
publications. All authors appear to have prestigious resumes.
▪ Purpose – The purpose of this source is to provide information,
however due to the technical nature of this study I think the audience is
limited.
SUPPORTING CLAIM #3: PARTICIPATION IN YOUTH SPORTS
RESULTS IN A HIGHER LIKELIHOOD OF ADULTHOOD SUCCESS.

SUMMARY:
This academic journal consisted of two studies. Study 1 looked at how
employers view participation in high-school sports during the hiring
process. The method for this study was a survey of hiring managers; the
manager was asked to choose which individual (a former basketball
player, cross country runner, band member, and yearbook member) they
expected to display certain traits. Study 2 used biodata to analyze
correlation between participation in competitive sports in high-school and
certain traits.
This article demonstrates that sports-specific biodata is relevant in the
selection process for many employers due to positive perceptions of
qualities such as leadership and confidence. It also shows that
participation in high-school sports can correlate with career success,
demonstrated by a higher percentage of high-school sports participants in
upper management. Interestingly, the study indicated that people that
participated in high-school sports are more likely to volunteer and donate
money to charity later in life; this is called prosocial behavior.
CREDIBILITY:
▪ Currency – This article was published in 2014 and then republished in
2015.
▪ Relevance – This source is related to my topic because it demonstrates
that participation in sports during high school is perceived well among
employers. There is also statistical evidence that suggests participation
is sports during youth equates to an increase of other skills and values,
such as giving and voluntarism.
▪ Accurate – During my research, I noted that this article has been cited
many times since it was published. This article has a long reference list
with many legitimate sources.
▪ Authority – Kevin Kniffin is currently an Assistant Professor at
Cornell University, however at the time he wrote the article he was a
postdoctoral researcher for Cornell. His faculty page on the Cornell
website lists many articles he has written through-out this career.
▪ Purpose – The purpose of this source is to provide information. The
intended audience would not be the general public because the article is
more technical in nature.
