decline in participation rates from 18 years old onwards. This increases again from the age of 30 onwards up until 50 years which shows another
decline.
2. Attitude - this is often closely related to traditions that have developed in specific geographical areas. For example football being the most
dominant sport or coastal areas having a strong traditions in water sports. Friends may also influence an individuals attitudes toward sport whereby
they may start or quit playing depending on whether their friends start or quit.

relativiely easily accessible to all due to car parks, public transport routes etc.

functional and now it includes a 'fashion statement'.
Today it is both common and fashionable to wear
designer sports clothing both on and off the sports
field.
5. Finance - one of the major ruling factors of sport.
Today if an individual cannot pay they cannot play,
although local authorities which build public sports
facilities ensure that they operate a t a cost that most
can afford. Students, senior citizens and non wage
earners often have subsidized rates.

relating to participation. It is in school where many
children are introduced to sport. School exposes
children to a wide range of sporting opportunities and
by providing instruction enables them to leave school
with sufficient confidence to pursue a sport in later life.

disabilities.

offer indoor and outdoor sports and activities

aim is to make money, but who also often
help to fund sport. Inclusive – something
that allows all people to take part.

17. • How does sport affect a healthy lifestyle?
A number of factors influence the way in which sport and physical activity impacts on health
in different populations. Sport and physical activity in itself may not directly lead to benefits
but, in combination with other factors, can promote healthy lifestyles.
Physical activity for individuals is a strong means for the prevention of diseases and for
nations is a cost-effective method to improve public health across populations.
There is evidence to suggest that changes in the environment can have a significant impact on
opportunities for participation and in addition, the conditions under which the activity is
taking place can heavily impact on health outcomes.
Elements that may be determinants on health include nutrition, intensity and type of physical
activity, appropriate footwear and clothing, climate, injury, stress levels and sleep patterns.
