Influences on participation

• Attitudes to all kinds of physical activity are
  almost all the result of social and cultural
  differences.
• These influences can have a positive or negative
  influence on participation on sport and activity.

10
AGE

• Age limits are set on some clubs
• Separate competitions and coaching
• There is now a trend for a healthier lifestyle
  older people need to stay active (money could be
  an issue)

11
GENDER

• Males and females are encouraged to take part in
  sport
• Some clubs only offer single sex teams
• Each sex usually competes separately this is
  because of differences in size and strength
• Can you think of activities where male and female
  participate together?

12
ACCESS

• Are there facilities close by?
• Is there a cost?
• Someone may be interested in an activity but if
  they have no access to a club then they will find
  it very difficult to do.
• When facilities in an area are good then interest
  is usually higher and the standard increases
  because of the numbers participating.

13
TRADITION AND CULTURE

• Many areas have a traditional sport that can be
  part of their cultural heritage.
• Can you think of some examples?
• Success in an activity promotes interest and
  therefore more participants.
• Family traditions will influence children- either
  positively or negatively
• When there is success in sport money can become
  available from the local authority or private
  sponsors.
• In the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics the British
  Curling teams were made up entirely of Scottish
  players.
