What is socialisation into sport?
Show answer
Socialisation is the process by which people learn the attitudes, values and behaviours of their society, including those toward physical activity. Primary socialisation comes from significant others, especially family, who model and encourage (or discourage) activity early in life. Secondary socialisation comes from schools, peers, clubs, coaches and the media. A child whose family is active and who has positive early experiences in school sport is far more likely to value and continue physical activity.
What is sociocultural factors influencing participation?
Show answer
Several factors interact to influence who participates.
What is strategies to maintain lifelong participation?
Show answer
Strategies work by removing barriers and strengthening enablers. Improving access (community facilities, transport, programs in schools and workplaces) addresses geography and cost. Subsidies and voucher schemes address socioeconomic barriers. Inclusive and modified programs (mixed-ability, all-abilities, culturally appropriate, modified rules and equipment) address gender, disability and cultural barriers.
