The Impact of Leisure Time Activities on the Academic Performance among College Students

Abstract

bstract: One of the most important aspects of life is leisure time activities, especially for students because they allow them to participate in extracurricular activities outside of the classroom and advance their development of active behaviour. The purpose of the study is to ascertain how students spend their free time and how it impacts their academic achievement. Students in higher education institutions participate in a variety of activities, including sports, leisure pursuits, social networking, etc. Our selection of the six components—physical activities, indoor activities, social activities, reading activities, dating/relationship activities, and recreational activities—is based on literature review findings showing students engage in a variety of leisure activities. College students between the ages of 18 and 30 were taken into account for this study. A questionnaire-based method was utilised to collect the data, and it was distributed to 168 students studying in various universities in India in a variety of academic fields. The research's conclusions gained significance on the effects that each of the six components has on academic success.
