Participation in extracurricular sports activities may contribute not only to physical fitness but also to psychosocial development among adolescents. This study aimed to compare physical fitness, socio-emotional behavior, and personal resilience between vocational high school students who participate in basketball extracurricular activities and those who do not. A comparative ex post facto design was employed involving 100 vocational high school students from Malang and Pasuruan. Participants consisted of 50 students involved in basketball extracurricular activities and 50 non-participating students selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using Independent Samples t-tests. Students participating in basketball extracurricular activities demonstrated significantly higher physical fitness (t=8.794; p<0.001) and personal resilience (t=4.076; p<0.001) compared to non-participating students. Socio-emotional behavior also showed better outcomes among extracurricular participants. Participation in basketball extracurricular activities is associated with better physical fitness, socio-emotional behavior, and personal resilience among vocational high school students
