Reduce Reoffending? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on the Effectiveness

“Objectives Sports programs are widely implemented as measures of crime

prevention” https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10940-021-09536-3.

In this peer-reviewed journal, the authors talk about the benefits of sports in a

criminal setting, giving information on how sports have many positive outcomes leading

to crime prevention. It also offers data gathered on the prevention programs in sports,

showing that people who have participated in sports have less aggression, self-esteem,

anti-social behavior, and overall, more positive mental. The central theme shown

throughout gives factual data on the effectiveness of how participants release anger while

having positive outcomes on the body, offering them a sense of confidence while also

making many new connections. Spending time on a sport can be a handful yet can be

viewed as favorable as instead of spending time on a sport, people tend to head in the

wrong direction, which can lead to bad with the law, thus preventing crime.

The author made the purpose of this article clear, showing studies of thirty-two

participants' experiences on the transformation that sports programs have on a personal level to

many people who are active in long-distance cycling. Where the participants have said they have

experienced a sense of purpose in life, many people have trouble finding a purpose that can

negatively affect a human's physical and mental aspects. Others underwent a similar feeling of

empowerment, giving them hope, confidence, and a better living experience, creating a

beneficial lifestyle that contributes to a person's memory. As the author stated at the beginning of

the title, “I’m a completely different person now.”

This article aims to show the effects of sports and the influence of a coach from a

psychological perspective, showing data from six participants from the ages of Fourteen through

seventeen halves by gender, three males and three females, to gather more information. The

participants were shown to be more motivated in sports and outside activities, feel more

empowered by the tasks they would complete, and be given positive feedback and support from
 Gonzalez 3

the coach. The coach and the student relationship gave the participants, who felt like they needed

more support when they were not getting enough, a sense of a supportive relationship.

This article gives an electronic database to prove that sports can have multiple health

benefits for people with physical disabilities. Also tested was mental health, which

demonstrates that the group who started practicing sports had better mental health than

the group who was not engaging in the same activities using electronic data. The physical

quality also showed a significant difference, showing a more positive physical aspect

while improving overall quality of life and effective adaptation to a sport.

and long living life. The author suggested that exercise through a sport can positively impact and

enhance healthy life expectancy for middle-aged individuals who participated in a sport, showing
 Gonzalez 4

not. When the participants exercised or played sports with their family members, it was proven

“The Impact of Frame Running on Quality of Life in Young Athletes with Mobility

Limitations.” https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fspor.2022.839285/full.

The author explains how athletic sports can help develop a person's neurological

impairment, causing an overall positive quality of life for the brain and the physical body. The

data was collected with participants ages six through nineteen who were running group members.

The results showed a significant positive result in joy and self-confidence, which proved to help

the quality of life. Running was revealed to have a more substantial impact on blood flow in the

body, which would allow the brain to get more blood, further improving the neurological part of

the participants. At the same time, walking was also an effective result for most.

2012—What health impact?”

The central theme was the impact of local government programs that improved public

health, such as sports or exercise, like the Olympic games. The activities were shown to

influence many humans to join sports or exercise after seeing programs of sports activities that

had an impact that led to many health benefits. It also pushed many people to want to enter the
 Gonzalez 5

Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, thus making them work extremely hard to try and join.

Many people would not make it, yet that did not stop them from reaping the benefits of doing

sports activities. This gives them a sense of self-confidence due to all the hard work and physical

transformation, both physical and mental, as they would have to be very disciplined to work

hard, helping their mental state in the long run.

Keller, Dave. Journal of Character Education, 2020, Vol.16 (2), p.87-89. “Positive sport

parenting.” In this journal it shows the positive of sport parenting giving information on

how the growth mindset of a young athlete can help in many mental ways. Learning from

mistakes in sports can help in many life scenarios teaching how to recover from a mistake

so they do not make the same ones again setting them back. Sports can also help enforce

the emotions of the athlete, making them mentally stronger and less sensitive to stress,

helping them navigate in life. Many people who do not have those experiences in life get

them through sports,s adding additional support to parenting.

The authors aimed to explore the life skills athletes can learn from sports based on

research of a college basketball team the participants were interviewed to better understand what

they have learned. The several skills that were learned are unbelievably valuable lessons that

many people do not get to experience such as Leadership skills, teamwork, mental performance,
 Gonzalez 6

time management, responsibility, and improvement in learning skills. These skills helped the

medical students in their future careers, yet the skills they have learned will not only help them in

their careers but also in their whole lifetime with many life opportunities and obstacles. This

does not apply only to medical students as it can be for all athletes looking towards different

careers.

development program on youth life skills and entrepreneurial mindset.”

Sport-based skills offer people options in different pathways in life. These skills lead to

more knowledge of what a person needs to endure and succeed in various aspects of life in

various circumstances. When a youth is introduced to sport-based skills at a youthful age they

get an advantage over those who might not be fortunate enough to come across life skills. They

tested the research by comparing three African countries that were assigned to a three weeklong

program. The trial was divided into two groups: half were placed in life skill programs and the

other half were placed into a sport-controlled environment. The sports-based trial proved

effective in developing entrepreneurial mindsets. However, both trials proved to be beneficial in

enhancing life skills and in pioneering a business mind set.
