What is a national governing body (NGB)?

A national governing body runs a sport in a country, setting its rules and organising competitions. England Netball and the Football Association are examples.

Why should participation trends be checked against more than one source?

Different organisations measure participation in different ways. A comparison of several sources gives a more accurate picture of the trend.

How does age affect participation in sport?

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

How does gender affect participation in sport?

Women and girls are generally less active than men and boys, especially as teenagers. Stereotypes, less media coverage and fewer role models all contribute.

How can ethnicity, religion and culture affect participation?

Religious festivals, days of worship and dress codes can clash with some activities. Discrimination or a lack of role models from the same background can also discourage people.
