Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    What is meant by a barrier to participation?

    Model answer

    A barrier to participation is anything that stops people taking part in physical activity. Barriers can be practical, social or personal.

  2. 2

    How can cost be a barrier to participation?

    Model answer

    Club fees, equipment and travel can be expensive. People on low incomes may be priced out.

  3. 3

    How can time be a barrier to participation?

    Model answer

    Work, study and caring responsibilities leave little free time. Busy adults often drop out of regular activity.

  4. 4

    How can access be a barrier to participation?

    Model answer

    Some areas lack nearby facilities or safe places to exercise. Poor transport and inaccessible venues also exclude people.

  5. 5

    How can gender stereotypes be a barrier to participation?

    Model answer

    Stereotypes can suggest some sports are not for women or men. Fear of judgement discourages some people from taking part.

  6. 6

    How can disability be a barrier to participation?

    Model answer

    Inaccessible facilities and a lack of adapted sessions limit disabled people's options. Negative attitudes can also discourage them.
