What is the HITFOR acronym?
H -> Poor health & hygiene
I -> Lack of income
T -> Lack of leisure time
F -> Lack of facilities
O -> Overcrowding
R -> Loss of rights
Why did ‘poor health and hygiene’ lead to less participation in sport?
Poor working and living conditions lead to less energy for sport
Why did ‘lack of income’ lead to less participation in sport?
Widespread poverty and low wages, so therefore working longer hours (no time)
Why did ‘lack of time’ lead to less participation in popular recreation?
Long 12 hour days, 6 days a week. Sundays were seen as a religious ‘rest’ day - no time for recreation
Why did ‘lack of facilities’ lead to less participation in popular recreation?
No places or equipment for lower class to use, so no enjoyment.
Why did ‘overcrowding’ lead to less participation in popular recreation?
Loss of space to play traditional mob games, so weren’t as popular.
Why did ‘loss of rights’ lead to less participation in popular recreation?
Restrictions were placed on mob games and blood sports as they were seen as too dangerous.
