How can a lack of female role models reduce participation?

Girls who rarely see women playing sport may feel it is not for them. Greater coverage of women's sport gives girls performers to identify with.

How does age affect participation rates?

Participation usually falls once people leave school and take on work and family commitments. Older people may also be limited by health or a lack of suitable activities.

How can activities be adapted to keep older people active?

Low-impact activities such as walking football, swimming and yoga suit older people. Sessions at quieter times and a slower pace also help.
