I can evaluate how different types of physical activity impact peak athletic performance.

1
Exercising when young strengthens bones, clears bad cholesterol, and decreases the risk of stroke, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
2
Team sports provide psychological benefits such as learning to trust others, accepting help, and working towards a common goal, which can reduce the risk of depression.
3
Training in sports reinforces a growth mindset, where you believe you can improve through practice, and learning through failure builds resilience to manage hurdles; for example, a basketball player missing a game-winning shot learns to cope with pressure.
