Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    How can physical activity raise self-esteem and confidence?

    Model answer

    Success such as mastering a skill or reaching a goal gives a sense of achievement. The performer then feels more confident and values themselves more.

  2. 2

    How does exercise help a person manage stress?

    Model answer

    Exercise releases endorphins, hormones that make a person feel good. Activity also takes the mind off worries and relieves tension.

  3. 3

    How can regular activity improve a person's image?

    Model answer

    Regular activity can tone muscles and control weight, improving how a person looks. A better body image helps people feel good about their appearance.

  4. 4

    How can a sedentary lifestyle affect emotional well-being?

    Model answer

    Inactivity is linked to low self-esteem, poor body image and higher levels of stress and depression.

  5. 5

    How does joining a sports club help a person make friends?

    Model answer

    A club brings together people who share an interest. Team-mates who train and compete together often become friends outside sport.

  6. 6

    What is meant by a sense of belonging to a group?

    Model answer

    Belonging means feeling accepted as part of a team or club with a shared identity. Members support each other and work towards common goals.
