Abstract: Abstract Our research examines the causal relationship between children’s experiences in sports and their subsequent outcomes later on in life. Using the sample of Japanese twins that the authors collected through web-monitoring survey, we will look at the difference in children’s sports experiences at school between twin pairs. Our main research task is to examine, after controlling for the innate ability and family environments where the children were growing up, whether sports can help your life better.
