Hello....

Explanation:

Participation in physical activity is influenced by social factors such as social groupings, family and friends as well as personal factors such as age, gender, disability and ethnicity.

Age affects participation in physical activity in a number of ways:

1)Young children need to develop gross motor skills from an early age to become confident movers. Those that do so tend to participate to a greater degree.

2)Adolescents experience a growth spurt that changes their physical development. This affects how they acquire skills and how they feel, ie confidence, self-esteem and body image; it also influences the type of activity they may participate in, as intensive strength training is not recommended while bodies are still growing as it can damage the growth plate on the bone ends.

3)Young people's participation is usually high during curriculum time as physical education (PE) is compulsory. It is lower for extracurricular sport, and it drops dramatically beyond school – out of school hours and when young people leave school. Overall, young people’s participation decreases from age 13.

Gender

In the UK, 1.9 million fewer women than men take part in sport each week. There is a significant drop in girls' participation from age 11. By age 14, boys are twice as active as girls.

There are many reasons why some women rarely participate in sport and physical activity:

1)discrimination - others/males/media devalue female sport and activity.

2)low self-esteem - awareness of image, lack of confidence, embarrassment.

3)lack of role models - few female role models for this age group.

4)lack of encouragement - from family, schools, peers.

5)friends/peer inactivity - others do not participate, devalue activity.

6)lack of opportunity - few activities for women/women only activities.

Ethnicity

Over half of people in black and minority ethnic (BME) communities do no sport or physical activity.

On average, all BME groups have lower participation rates than the national average.

One of the main reasons why BME communities have lower rates of participation is the lack of BME role models involved in leading and organising sport. For example:

1)only 5% of coaches are from BME communities

2)only 7% of sports professionals (other than performers) are from BME communities

3)people from BME communities are 50% less likely to be sports volunteers than the general population

Other reasons include racism and discrimination, stereotyping and lack of disposable income.

Religion and culture

Some religions and cultures have laws or expectations which make it more difficult to participate in sport. These restrictions particularly affect women and are often to do with clothing. For example, a teenage girl might not be allowed to go swimming with her friends as wearing a bathing costume in public is not allowed in her culture or religion. Some performers wear head covering or full body covering when they participate, to stay within the laws of their religion.

An inclusive society is a society that over-rides differences of race, gender, class, generation, and geography, and ensures inclusion, equality of opportunity as well as. capability of all members of the society to determine an agreed set of social institutions. that govern social interaction.
