3. About Adult League Sports

Adult league sports have increased in
popularity in recent years, and studies show
that this may be due at least in part to the
diverse mental, physical, and social benefits
that participation in these leagues provides.
Studies have shown that adult league sports
can burn hundreds of calories in a single
game, while also providing an outlet for
physical energy and a venue for stress relief.
Games also provide the adrenaline rush of
competition in a healthy environment, which
many people find essential to emotional
health.

4. Conclusion

League sports also allow adults to make
social connections, a benefit long
acknowledged in youth sports and recently
recognized in adult play. In fact, a recent
study by the Centre for Economic Policy
Research in Switzerland found a correlation
between league play and professional
earning potential, a percentage of which
researchers have attributed to social
networking and general social function.
Regular players reported not only better
health, which supports professional
performance, but also a higher level of social
skill that likely manifests itself in the
workplace.
