ations of chronic muscular tension (such as headache or back ache)

engaged workforce, or on learning how
we can do more together rather than

9. • Which of the benefits are the most important
for you personally. ?

10. • Do Research on different types and
Cateogories of Sports both Individual and Tea

• Once Upon a time there was a football team that used to win every
match because they were very good players.
• They were about to play in the football World Cup final, but they weren´t
nervous because they were better than the rival team, or at least that´s what
they thought.

12. • Do you have idea of mass participation in
sports events, including running events, mass
cycle rides, five-a-side football tournaments
and triathlons.

13. • Professional and Nonprofessional sports
• Non-professional’ sport and the idea is that
anyone can take part.

14. • Discuss in group of two ;
• What sports or activities you do, where, when,
why?

15. • Why do you like Sports???
• Why after a certain age interest in sports
decline?
• Can something be done about that?

16. • The pie graphs below show the result of a
survey of children's activities. The first graph
shows the cultural and leisure activities that
boys participate in, whereas the second
graph shows the activities in which the girls
participate.

18. .
• Turning to the first chart, we can observe that boys prefer playing
computer games (34% participation rate) than taking other
activities. Playing basketball comes as the second most popular
leisure, practiced by almost a third of male children. Basketball is
followed by soccer, which is exercised by 17%. Skateboarding and
listening to music are less preferable activities, chosen by 11% and
10% of boys respectively. Reading, the least popular cultural
activity among boys, represents only two percent.
• Taking a closer look at the second chart, we can see that girls'
most preferred activity is dancing, being 27% of the total. In
contrast to the boys' preferences, reading is chosen by more than
a fifth of all girls. Although percentage of female children who
play computer games is roughly twice less than that of boys (16%),
this activity is third most popular on the girls' chart. With a slight
difference between computer games and netball, the latter is
practiced at 15% rate. Similarly to skateboarding popularity
among boys, 11% of girls go in for gymnastics. Listening to music
comes as the least popular leisure, with a proportion of 10%,
equal to those on the first chart.

20. • How can sport be more accessible?
• The idea behind this that anyone can
participate in sports activities.

21. • Identify categories of people who typically are
unable or reluctant to take part in sport in
their country and identify factors that might
make them less likely to participate. They
discuss what could be done to provide more
opportunities for such groups to participate,
and how those groups could be engaged in an
activity.

22. • Design a questionnaire or survey to ask other
classmates about their interest and
participation in sports..

23. Sample Survey

24. • How Your questionnaire could be refined and
improved to elicit more data about why some
people do more sports or activities than
others.

25. • People like sports because they need an
escape from real-world troubles. People like
sports because it provides a sense of
belonging, a connection to a wider world. In
other words: There is no single answer to why
people watch sports, because the answer
doesn't lie in the game, it lies inside the
individual.

26. •MARATHON OR FUN
RUN
• NO prior qualification or no membership
is required

27. • Conduct a research on Mass participation
Events..

28. • Identify categories of people who typically are
unable or reluctant to take part in sport in
their country and identify factors that might
make them less likely to participate. Discuss
what could be done to provide more
opportunities for such groups to participate,
and how those groups could be engaged in an
activity.

29. • Time is one of the biggest reasons people
don't exercise. The second and third reasons
are not having support, and lack of options.
Some other reasons include: lack of
knowledge, discomfort, lack of facilities or
equipment and cost.
• Discuss and collect data by asking different
sets of groups.

30. •The most interesting part….

31. • How could we organise a mass participation
sports or activity event in our locality?
• Decide on a type of mass participation sports
event that could be staged in your locality,
with the aim of encouraging as many people
as possible to take part, including those
categories of people identified earlier as less
likely to participate in sport.

32. • How the event could be planned and organised?
• How to publicise the event to attract as wide a
range of entrants as possible. They allocate roles
and tasks among the individuals in the group, and
use a range of print, visuals, multimedia, or
creative media to create publicity materials for
the event, with a specific focus on encouraging
participation by groups of people who would not
normally take part.

33. • You can begin with as small as sport event
organised for your class…

34. • Collect Funds
• Decide on the main purpose and objective of the marathon.
• Select a date and a location for your event.
• Develop a budget for your event.
• Determine what licenses or other permissions you will need.
• Promote and market your event.
• Purchase the items you'll need for your event.
• Plan to arrive as early as possible and do a dry run of the course.
• Clean up the site
• Say Thankyou

35. • Groups finally present their publicity materials
to the class and provide a verbal commentary
on them to attract different groups of people
to participate in various sports..
