Abstract

This qualitative descriptive study explores the potential of sports activities in overcoming the challenges faced in the transition phase of adolescence. The literature highlights the values ​​and role of sport in this critical time. Adolescence is a time of significant physical, emotional, and social change as individuals navigate the transition from childhood to adulthood. It is a period marked by the search for self-identity, the development of independence, and the exploration of various roles. Globalization is increasingly impacting teenagers, giving them access to a wealth of information and cultural influences from around the world. This exposure can shape their thinking, interactions, and consumption habits. Exercise has been shown to be beneficial during this time of transition, helping teens manage stress, improving their overall health, increasing self-esteem, and improving social skills. Additionally, participation in sports can foster discipline, teamwork, and leadership qualities. Therefore, sport is considered an important component of interventions aimed at overcoming challenges during adolescence.
