- Influences on Participation in Sport
- People
- Family
- Children can sometimes participate in the same activities as their parents do.
- Although this is also to do with resources, your parents are the ones to pay for all the equipment required for a sport, so if it is too expensive you may not be encouraged to participate.
- Peers
- The influence of your friends can encourage you to participate in a particular sport.
- Your friends may all be dancers so it may be much easier to succeed with the encouragement of your friends
- Or they may think that a particular sport is rubbish so they may encourage you not to participate in that particular sport.
- Role Models
- A role model is someone whos actions are admired by others.
- They are often in the media's spotlight for their actions causing them to inspire others.
- Being a role model comes with responsibilities eg. not taking drugs or getting into fights.

- Fashion
- Many activites require equipment and clothing.
- Some brands of sports equipment can be very fashionable but also very expensive.
- Because of the items of clothing that you have to wear some people - espefially teenage girls - don't want to wear this clothing therefore, will not participate in the sport.
- Media Coverage
- The amount of media coverage for a particular sport can affect the amount of people that participate in that sport.
- Mens football is a popular coverage is covered on many TV channels therefore, boys are encouraged and inspired to participate.
- However, there isn't much coverage of sports like table tennis therefore, there are very few table tennis players compared to footballers or tennis players.
