Positive & Negativeinfluences on participation

The right to participate in a wide range of sporting and recreational activities is taken for granted by most of us today. But there are still those who don’t always have the opportunities to take part.

This unit of work focuses on the main social groupings that influences participation in sport and physical activity.

These influences can have a…

Positive effect – encouraging participation

Negative effect – they do not encourage participation.

GCSE PE


Parents often encourage their children to participate in the sports they like themselves.

Parental support and interest often greatly increases their child’s enthusiasm, the lack of it may have the opposite effect unless other influences, such as school or friends, have a more positive effect.

The long tradition of discrimination against women in sport has not completely died away.

Many sports were not considered ladylike and men thought women could get hurt easily, so they were not allowed to participate. Boxing, for example.

In the UK, women now play almost every sport men do, but still the attendances and prize money are less than the men’s equivalent. However, in some countries, religion and political beliefs prevent women from participating.

GCSE PE


A persons ethnic origin can heavily influence their participation in sport.

In many cultures there are rules stipulating what women can/cannot wear and this in turn can have an impact on their participation in PE/Sport. Some cultures still see the women’s role as in the home which limits their leisure time.

Peer group pressure or influence can be a major factor in the lifestyle and interests of young people. What your friends do, you often do.

It takes strength of character to follow your own inclinations rather than just follow the crowd. Sometimes friends/others in your peer group may ridicule your participation in a certain sport, this can have a negative impact.

GCSE PE

Extension Task:

Pick one of the following scenarios and create an action plan (what would you do?)

- Your best friend is not really interested in sport/PE but you really want them to attend the local badminton club with you. Consider how you would encourage them to join with you.

- You are a PE teacher and a pupil in Y8 has shown a real talent for athletics. You keep encouraging them to join a club, they seem really excited about this but never join. When you speak to them about this it appears that their parents do not want them go, they have said they cannot afford it and they don’t see why they can’t just stay at home and watch tv like the rest of the family.
