- socio-economic factors
- health and wellbeing
- somatotypes
how does age affect participation ?
- accessibility, if you’re young you have to get driven to clubs/competitions, family isn’t prepared to do that, don’t have same opportunity. Some ages it’s difficult to find a class so they can’t participate.
- injury, older peoples health decreases so they’re more prone to injury, so they do not want to do sports

-opportunity, less things available
-awareness, lots of people aren’t aware of some disabled needs
-lack of role models, no one for people to look up to, aspire to be like

name 3 different strategies to improve participation
promotion (actively encouraging or publicising)
provision ( what is provided, supplied and arranged)

by having more role models from minority groups being advertised
give an example of how social groups create barriers
disabled people get stereotyped by others, getting made fun of, making them not want to do it
provide a solution to a given barrier to participation
having lots of different clubs that meet peoples specific needs so people feel comfortable to come
how would you advertise and promote a new sport to gain participants ?
online

give 2 negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle

what is a healthy weight ?

how many calories do men need daily ?
2,500
how many calories to women need daily ?
2,000
what affects peoples calories intake ?
-age
-gender
-height
-energy expenditure
what is obesity ?
when you’ve gained lots of weight, your body fat percentage is 40% or higher
what percentage body fat is classed as obese ?
40%
state an effect obesity has on health and fitness
can cause cancer and type 2 diabetes
how is obesity caused ?
caused by imbalance of too many calories consumed + not enough burned = increase in body weight -
what are the 2 main ways to work out weather someone is obese ?
- body fat percentage
- body mass index
how do you calculate body mass index ?
weight/height squared
give 3 effects of obesity
- reduces speed, so you ill not be selected for the team, so you are not socialising out of school making friends, so you are lonely and sad, which can lead to depression
- limits flexibility, cannot do simple things you used to be able to do, reduces self esteem, confidence
- more likely to suffer from heart disease and cancer
give two effects which can lead to obesity
-medical reasons- some medical conditions cause you to put on weight- if you keep putting on weight you will become obese

what are the 7 food group nutrients ?
-carbohydrates
proteins
-fats
-minerals
-vitamins
-water
-fibre
what percentage of your diet should be carbohydrates ?
55%-60%
what percentage of your diet should be fats ?
25%-30%
what percentage of your diet should be protein ?
15%-20%
why do you need water when exercising ?
- you need water for chemical reactions
- when you sweat to cool your body down
give effects to the body when 2 % of body weight is lost as sweat and you are dehydrated
impaired performance
give effects to the body when 4 % of body weight is lost as sweat and you are dehydrated
capacity for muscular work declines, fatigue and cramps, increase in heart rate
give effects to the body when 5 % of body weight is lost as sweat and you are dehydrated
heat exhaustion, increase in body temperature, decreased reaction time
give effects to the body when 7 % of body weight is lost as sweat and you are dehydrated
blood viscosity which slows blood flow, hallucinations
give effects to the body when 10 % of body weight is lost as sweat and you are dehydrated
circulatory collapse and heat stroke, irregular heart rate
give effects of dehydration to do with blood flow
- blood viscosity increases reducing flow to muscles, so less 02 for energy
- reduction in the exchange of waste removal of biproducts transportation of nutrients
- lower blood pressure, lower cardiac output
give effects of dehydration linked to heart rate
- less 02 supplied means less waste products are removed, slow recovery time
- increased heart rate resulting in lower cardiac output, heart must work harder to supply working muscles
- increased heart rate means performance could be slower or not completed for as long
give effects of dehydration linked to temperature/fatigue
- reduced sweating to prevent loss, results in increase of temperature, overheat, becoming feint
give effects of dehydration linked to concentration
-muscle fatigue/cramp and headaches
- decreased performance/decreased reaction time, decision making ability
define dehydration
dehydration is when you don’t drink enough water, excessive loss of body water interrupting function of the body
give 3 reasons why it is important to have a balanced diet
- so you don’t become overweight/underweight
- you have enough energy to undergo daily tasks
- so body gets enough nutrients for growth and hydration
how do carbohydrates (foods like rice, pasta, bread) benefit athletes ?
main source of energy, fuel for high intensity of aerobic work, converted into glucose which is pure energy
how does protein (foods like chicken, fish) benefit the athlete ?
promotes muscle growth, increases strength, role in repair of tissue/micro tears after sport- reduces risk of injury
how do fats ( foods like butter and oils) benefit the athlete ?
help absorbs vitamins, major source of energy, used for low intensity exercise. not used for high intensity exercise as they require 02 to be broken down
