Abstract:

Sport, particularly fast-paced games like badminton and the strategic play of pickleball, can enhance both fitness and skills. However, many schools lack programs linking sports participation to improved academic performance. This study aimed to examine the impact of playing badminton and pickleball on students’ academic performance and to improve their skills through structured physical education programs. Conducted at Koronadal National Comprehensive High School (KNCHS) in South Cotabato, Philippines, with a total of 80 Grade 11 P.E. 2 students selected using a purposive sampling technique. The data was analyzed using mean scores, standard deviation, and Ttests. The results indicated that pickleball had slightly higher exercise intensity (M = 3.51) than badminton (M = 3.45), offering a better cardiovascular workout. Pickleball also outperformed badminton in teamwork (M = 3.96 vs. 3.82) and peer interaction (M = 3.84 vs. 3.74), and students who played pickleball had higher scholastic ratings (M = 94.55 vs. 91.6). Despite these differences, the t-test revealed no significant difference in student engagement between the two sports. Both sports foster similar levels of participation and social interaction, but pickleball's strategic demands may contribute to better academic performance. The study suggests that both sports should be included in the KNCHS curriculum for well-rounded student development. Future research could explore other sports and their long-term effects on students.
