text: But that's not all. It's actually been shown that clubs and teams could improve a students' health. A professional from Johns Hopkins said in an interview, "...Students who participated in activities after school were reported to have a better attitude, more motivation in and outside of school, and possessed an overall healthier lifestyle than their peers who did not join any extracurriculars." In other words, adolescents who joined activities after school tended to be in better condition than those who decided not to participate in any clubs or join any sports teams. This displays how students have been able to thrive and even better themselves thanks to extracurriculars. Overall, I think you'll find this important because it shows how kids and teens can greatly benefit from after school activities.
