Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
What are barriers to participation?
Model answer
Barriers to participation are factors that stop people taking part in sport and physical activity. Barriers may be practical, social or personal.
- 2
How can socio-economic status be a barrier to participation?
Model answer
People on low incomes may not afford membership fees, equipment or transport. Some sports, such as golf, carry high costs.
- 3
How can a lack of time act as a barrier?
Model answer
Long working hours, shift work and caring duties leave little time for activity. People on low wages may work more than one job.
- 4
How can leisure providers reduce cost barriers?
Model answer
Providers can offer concessions, pay-as-you-go sessions and free equipment loans. Subsidised schemes target low-income groups.
- 5
How can location and transport act as barriers?
Model answer
People without a car may struggle to reach facilities, especially in rural areas. Poor public transport limits access.
- 6
Why might people in deprived areas have fewer opportunities to take part?
Model answer
Deprived areas may have fewer, older facilities and fewer clubs. Safety concerns can also discourage outdoor activity.
