Q

evaluate the effectiveness of extrinsic motivation for a beginner in sport (4)

Extrinsic rewards may result in pride which encourage the beginner to try harder to improve (1)
* Performers can become reliant on extrinsic motivation and if it is not given then the beginner may
reduce effort levels or give up completely (1)
* Intrinsic motivation leads to continued participation as the beginner may be making a lot of errors and strives to improve for personal achievement (1)

A

Analysis of sport improves the quality of feedback given; increased accuracy in time and distance measurements; improved design of sport equipment, clothing and footwear; provides spectators with a greater access to the particular sport

110
Q

Describe the negative impacts of technology on the sport

A

Sports are no longer equal due to differences in access to technology; those with access to better technology often win; might take away from the intensity of the game

111
Q

Describe the positive impacts of technology on the sponsor

A

112
Q

Describe the negative impacts of technology on the sponsor

A

Negative effects of technology like cheating can affect the associated sponsors;

113
Q

Describe the positive impacts of technology on the performer

A

Safety improvements (body protection); nutrition and fitness (software monitors players); injury rehabilitation (ice baths, oxygen tents, hyperbaric chambers); clothing/equipment (full-body suits, tennis rackets, football boots, prosthetics); match analysis (GPS, physiological variables, video analysis)

114
Q

Describe the negative impacts of technology on the performer

A

Cost to performers; opposition can use it to analyse weaknesses; performers with less funding may struggle to compete; could lead to more cheating in order to win; physiological tracking invades privacy

115
Q

Describe the positive impacts of technology on the official

A

Used to make more accurate decisions; can communicate easily with each other; pressure and criticism are reduced; shot clocks speed up play and make it more exciting; time and score keeping allow officials to focus on officiating

116
Q

Describe the negative impacts of technology on the official

A

The danger of becoming over-reliant on the technology; undermines the trust and respect for officials and their expertise; can slow the game too much; cost to install or regularly use the technology

117
Q

Describe the positive impacts of technology on the spectator

A

Improved experience from home; a wider range of sports available to watch; camera technology has improved the viewing experience as there are more angles shown at a higher quality; on-screen information makes it more interactive for the fans

129
Q

Explain some strategies against hooliganism

A

Early kick-offs reduce the potential for alcohol consumption; all-seater stadia means no fan is getting in the way of another; segregation of fans prevents violence between opposing fans; improved security prevents violence from breaking out; alcohol restrictions mean fans have more control over their inhibitions; travel restrictions ban hooligans from travelling to away fixtures; education/campaigns promote anti-hooliganism
