Social Approach of The Importance of Physical Sports Activities in Developing Social Relationships Among Secondary School Students

This study examines the critical role of physical and sports activities in fostering and sustaining social relationships among high school students aged 15 to 18. Utilizing a descriptive analytical approach, the researcher gathered data from 83 students at Tariq Ibn Ziyad High School using structured questionnaires and Moreno's sociometric tests. The findings confirm that active participation in sports significantly builds positive social connections, with notable variations in relationship dynamics based on the students' gender and whether they participated in individual or team sports. Ultimately, the study recommends optimizing physical education classes to promote collaborative spirits, enhance social cohesion, and reduce isolation among adolescents
