Abstract
Background: Sports activities have a profound influence on both physical and mental health. Beyond physical exertion, they contribute to psychosocial development and emotional resilience. This systematic review aims to evaluate the impact of evening sports activities on the physical and mental wellbeing of hostel students. Methods: A comprehensive search of databases including PubMed, Medline, and Google Scholar, along with offline journals, was conducted. Studies assessing the impact of sports activities on physical and mental health, particularly among hostel or residential students, were included. Results: The selected studies consistently demonstrated positive associations between sports activity and enhanced wellbeing. Participation in sports was associated with reduced stress, improved cardiovascular function, increased emotional resilience, and better social functioning. Conclusion: This review underscores the importance of integrating structured sports activities into student wellness strategies. Interventions tailored to address both physical and psychosocial needs can significantly enhance the overall wellbeing of hostel students.
