- Barriers
- Lifestyle and aspirations
- many people lack the aspiration to participate as we may have poor self image or low self esteem
- many lifestyle factors can prevent us from spending our time participating in leisure activities
- men enjoy at least 32 minutes more leisure time than women
- Choice
- your leisure choices are restricted by where you live
- restricted to do leisure activities due to limited transport
- in rural areas or run down cities they may find fewer facilities, poor transport and less information on whats happening
- Disability access and provision
- disabled children are more likely to participate in swimming in school than the general population
- it is very difficult to participate if you have a disability and lack the strength, skills and confidence
- in 2001, disabled children lacked money to participate in sporting activities and some of the reasons for experiencing difficulties out of school

- Lower income, travel costs, expensive equipment, entry fees, leisure activities
- Lowest income groups - those on benefits, low wages, unemployed, elderly, students
- 13.5 million people in the UK were living in households below the 60% low income threshold
- low income households are lacking the income to spend on basic essentials
