How to use "Root for" in context?
Sports typically involve individuals rooting for their own team to win. But what if rooting for another team leads to enhanced physical and mental well-being?
According to a study published in the journal Sport and Exercise Psychology, rooting for a losing team can actually lead to better physical health. The study's authors analyzed data from 808 Division I collegiate athletes over a period of two years.
Participants were asked how much they rooted for their team during contests and how their physical health was affected. Results showed that those who said they root for their team frequently had better physical health.
