An article distributed by HealthDay news service reports a study has found that American middle school students who participate in team sports appear to be both physically and mentally better off than those who don't, and quotes James Roemmich, associate professor of pediatrics and exercise and nutrition science, who said the study findings make sense. The article appeared in news outlets that include BusinessWeek, MSN Health & Fitness, U.S. News & World Report and on the health websites of a number of television stations.
