The incorporation of systematized physical education into educational curricula has been a topic of extensive research due to its potential to positively influence the holistic development of students across various age groups. This study aimed to investigate the specific effects of structured physical education programs on the personal qualities of students from different age categories, focusing on traits such as self-discipline, teamwork, resilience, and leadership. A comprehensive literature review was conducted, analyzing 57 peer-reviewed articles published between 2010 and 2023. The articles were selected based on their relevance to the topic, methodological rigor, and sample size. Additionally, a meta-analysis of 12 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving a total of 3,678 students aged 6 to 18 years was performed to quantify the impact of physical education on specific personal qualities. The RCTs were assessed for quality using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool, and effect sizes were calculated using Cohen's d. The literature review revealed that systematized physical education programs have a significant positive impact on the development of personal qualities in students across different age groups. The meta-analysis of RCTs indicated that students who participated in structured physical education programs demonstrated improvements in self-discipline (d = 0.78, 95% CI [0.62, 0.94]), teamwork (d = 0.85, 95% CI [0.71, 0.99]), resilience (d = 0.71, 95% CI [0.58, 0.84]), and leadership (d = 0.68, 95% CI [0.54, 0.82]) compared to control groups. Subgroup analyses revealed that the effects were more pronounced in older students (aged 14-18 years) compared to younger students (aged 6-13 years). The findings suggest that systematized physical education plays a crucial role in fostering the development of essential personal qualities that contribute to the overall growth and success of students.
