Analysis of sport, education, health & wellbeing in Indigenous communities

该项目旨在探讨参与体育运动的意义及其与教育程度和健康与福祉成果的联系。最近的研究表明，儿童的身体活动和认知功能之间存在显着的正相关关系，自我报告的体育参与与一般健康和福祉之间也存在正相关关系。然而，迄今为止还没有研究审查土著社区的体育、教育、健康和福祉。本研究旨在解决这一不足。项目成果可以为针对澳大利亚土著青年的体育、教育程度、健康和福祉成果的政策和社区方案提供信息。它们还可能有助于评估未来方案的框架。

This project aims to explore the significance of participation in sport and its links to education attainment and health and wellbeing outcomes. Recent research suggests that that there is a significant positive relationship between physical activity and cognitive functioning in children, and also a positive relationship between self-reported participation in sport and general health and wellbeing. However, there has been no research to date that examines sport, education, health and wellbeing in Indigenous communities. This study aims to address this lack. Project outcomes may inform polices and community programs targeting sport, educational attainment, and health and wellbeing outcomes among Indigenous youth in Australia. They may also contribute to frameworks for evaluating future programs.
