- Barriers In Leisure
- Disability
- Joy, Wheelchair Basketball.
- The Disability Discrimination Act 2000 has made a huge difference as it requires all leisure facilities to provide access for all including, ramps, lifts, low level counters, special toilets, hearing loops and trained staff to assist
- Economic Factors
- Leisure is a Luxury
- Comes from disposable income
- Groups on lowest incomes tend to not spend money on leisure
- Poverty
- Poverty is defined as earning 60% or less of the average median income level in the UK
- •In 2007/08, 13½ million people in the UK were living in households below the 60% low-income threshold after deducting housing costs. This is around a fifth (22%) of the population
- •Do people living in poverty engage in sport?
- Choice
- •In remote rural areas or run down inner cities, we may find fewer facilities available, poor public transport to get here, and less information and publicity on what is happening.
- Lifestyle and Aspirations
- •We may lack the aspiration or motivation to participate as we may have a poor self image or low self esteem
- Work/life balance has become a common phrase
- •Chaps apparently enjoy an extra 32 minutes in which they can watch television, mix with friends, play sport or pursue hobbies, according to international research.
