Influences of taking part (1)

PEOPLE --> Many different people can influence us to start taking part in sport such as: Family, Friends and Role Models.

  • Family can influence you by making you start a sport at a young age
  • Friends can influence you by making you take part in a sport with them as a group
  • Role models can influence you as you may look up to them and want to be like them, for example, a young boy may want to start football so that he can be like his role model David Beckham.

CULTURAL INFLLUENCES -->

  • Age - age can put limits on what sport an individual may take up.
  • Gender - Males and females are both encouraged to take part in sport and in most cases, both male and female will compete with the same gender.
  • Disabilities - Even if you have some sort of disability, you are still encouraged to do sports and there are competetions you can take part in which includes people with the same disability. There is also the Paralympics.

  • Race - Taking part in an activity can be influenced by ethnic background. Many ethnic groups participate in sport but have other factors that can affect their opportunities.

IMAGE -->

  • Fashion - Sports clothing is always worn by people who are taking part in sport and what we wear is usually influenced by what we see our role models wearing. E.G. the latest running shoes that Jessica Ennis wears.
  • Media Coverage -When sports are shown on TV and in newspapers and magazenes, it is automatically promoting it and making it more popular.

RESOURCES -->

  • Availability - If people want to take part in a sport, there needs to be suitable facilities and the correct resources available
  • Location - Participation in sport depends on what is locally available, some places not have any facilities available for sport.
  • Access -Facilities need to be easily accessable. If they cannot be reached by foot or bike then easy access by public transport is important.
  • Time - Facilities need to be open at the right time.Which means that they should probably be open in the evenings and on weekends for students and in the holidays.

SOCIO - ECONOMIC -->

  • The amount of money that a person earns will influence them on a sport as some sports may be more expensive to train for as they have to buy all of the correct uniform and equiptment.
