Study Shows Benefits of Women in Sports

Predmore is a classic example of the study recently published by Kelly P. Troutman and BYU professor Mikaela J. Dufur.
This study, published in a recent edition of Youth & Society Journal, analyzes the research by Troutman and Dufur that shows that girls who participate in high school sports are 41 percent more likely to graduate from college than those who do not.
The percentages in some colleges were significantly higher than 41 percent, but Troutman and Dufur calculated several other influencing factors, leading them to their final numbers.
