topic 2 Flashcards
what is a social group ?
a social group is people who interact with each other, share similar characteristics and have a sense of togetherness
name 5 different social groups
- gender
- age
- family/peers
- disability
- ethnicity/religion
- role models
- accessibility
- media coverage
- stereotypes
- education
- 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
- negative attitudes, adolescents physically changing affects their ability, leads to low self esteem, confidence
- leisure time, if you are an adult and working you do not have time to do sports, parents with their children have no time
how does gender affect participation ?
- negative attitudes, e.g a boy joining netball, friends make fun of him leading to low self esteem, embarrassment, no friends of your gender do it
- sexism, girl playing rugby when stereotyped as more masculine, boys might make fun of the girl, saying girls cannot do sports
- lack of role models, fewer female sports role models so no encouragement or motivation to want to do it
- some religions see females doing sport as inappropriate
how does ethnicity and religion affect participation ?
- education, women cannot wear revealing sports clothing and some women cannot exercise in front of men, aren’t educated about female only gyms, do not do anything outside of school
- stereotyping, people saying they cannot do sport due to religion, so they feel less confident in themselves to do sport
- lack of role models, fewer role models in sport who are from certain ethnicities, religion so no one to look up to.
- Inclusiveness, people discriminate, are racist so they do not do sport so they do not get made fun of
- time, religious people may have less time as they spend lots of time with family, worshipping, praying
how do family/peers affect participation ?
family commitments, busy with family so you have no time for sports
- money, if your family cannot afford it you cannot do the sport, miss out on opportunities and family feels bad they cannot pay/provide
- negative attitude, if you grow up in a family that is negative about sports their opinion may rub off onto the child so they also do not want to participate
how does education affect participation ?
- if you are taught benefits of participating makes people want to do it more
- opportunities, if schools do after school clubs gives children opportunity to practice
how does time and work commitments affect participation ?
-long working hours gives people little time to do sports
- if you have children you cannot do sports as you have less time
how does money affect participation ?
-if you cannot afford to go or the things you need in support of your sport you miss out on opportunities and aren’t able to participate
how does disability affect participation ?
-physical barriers, many sports need to be adapted to enable participation
-access, special equipment is often required
-transport, may be difficult if in wheelchair
-communication, depending on disability, communicating may be hard
-psychological, some people lack confidence
-discrimination, some clubs do not provide for disabled people, think they cannot do it, they feel invalid 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
how does opportunity and access affect participation ?
- no facilities to carry out the sport so no one is able to train
- transport, little transport to get to the sports ground
- no facilities to cater needs for disabilities
how does discrimination affect participation ?
- people have less self esteem, due to racist, negative attitudes of others so they do not want to participate
how does environment and climate affect participation ?
- depending on weather in different countries, sports may be better suited to warmer/colder climates
how does media coverage affect participation ?
- increases popularity and knowledge for different sports
- promotes healthy lifestyle
- promotes role models
- minority sports can be under represented
- minority groups are under represented
- promotes people not doing exercise, just sitting and watching sport
- bad publicity can decrease popularity in some sports
how do role models affect participation ?
- people look up to them and are motivated to do sport
name 3 different strategies to improve participation
promotion (actively encouraging or publicising)
provision ( what is provided, supplied and arranged)
access(transport, entry, and opportunities of use)
give an example of how you promote participation ?
increase media coverage of women’s sport, ethnic minority sport, and disability sport
give an example of using provision to increase participation
more PE in national curriculum for schools
give an example on how access can improve participation ?
sports facilities need to be local, available and affordable
how can you improve participation in education ?
schools can provide opportunities for practising sports skills to build confidence
how can you improve participation in age ?
provide different age group activities/ lessons in clubs
how can you improve participation with role models ?
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
what is health and wellbeing ?
health and wellbeing is a combination of complete physical, social and mental well-being - not just merely the absence of disease or infirmity
what is a sedentary lifestyle ?
a non- physical lifestyle where you don’t do exercise and do little physical activity. This could lead to poor physical health, so your likely to have illnesses such as heart disease or obesity
what is physical health ?

- lead to type 2 diabetes
- reduces life expectancy
what would a financial participation barrier be ?
if you cannot afford the classes, transport, equipment, competition fees
how would access to a facility limit participation ?
not being able to get public transport to the area makes it difficult to get there
describe an individual or everyday need of the benefits of joining a sports club
improves your social health as you meet new people, feel motivated to go so you’re happier
give 2 negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle
if you’re not active you are more likely to suffer from problems such as heart disease or obesity
what is a healthy weight ?
energy in = energy out
how many calories do men need daily ?
2,500
how many calories to women need daily ?
2,000
what affects peoples calories intake ?

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
- depression- you don’t feel motivated to do anything leads to a sedentary lifestyle- if you don’t exercise you will not burn enough calories and you’ll put on weight
outline 3 benefits of taking part in physical activity and sport to an individual’s health and wellbeing
improves your social health as you are interacting with more people, reduces stress and getting ill/injured. reduces chances of cancer/diabetes
identify 2 consequences of a sedentary life other than obesity
lead to poor mental health as you are not getting out as much so cannot socialise with others, affecting social health, which reduces your confidence and can make you depressed. increases chances of other illnesses like cancer and heart disease
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
how does water benefit the athlete ?
transports nutrients, hormones, waster products around the body. regulates body temperature, helps release energy as heat to limit over heating
how do vitamins (in things like orange juice) benefit the athlete ?
helps keep bones and connective ligaments strong. helps break food down and release energy. helps form haemoglobin which means fast flowing blood. immune system- illness doesn’t happen
how do minerals (in foods like vegetables) benefit the athlete ?
electrolytes, facilitate nerve impulses and enable effective muscular contractions. Calcium helps for strong bones, efficient nerve and muscle functions. Iron helps for haemoglobin in red blood cells, enhances 02 transportation and develops endurance
how does fibre (in wheat) benefit the athlete ?
prevents constipation, aids digestion and gets rid of waste product so performer isn’t bloated
what effects how much of the food groups we get?
- age difference
- gender
-height
-job
why would the amount of food we get be different?
different jobs have different energy levels, so a job which is active you are going to need more calories than someone with an office job where exercise is limited
give the effects of having too few calories
- not enough energy to perform or train
- weight loss, which can lead to anorexia
- muscles will take longer to recover from exercise
- development of health problems, more colds
- reduced sporting performance
- increased tiredness
give the effects of having too many calories
- excess weight could cause obesity
- reduced cardiovascular performance
- reduced flexibility
- reduced performance due to excess weight
how do fats help a long distance runner ?
its a major source of energy used for low intensity exercise. it helps absorb vitamins which helps keep ones and connective tissues strong
how do carbohydrates help a basketballer ?
main source of energy so helps fuel athlete to do lots of high intensity games so they can play for longer without fatigue
how does protein help weight lifters ?
lifting heavy weights so protein is important for muscle growth to help them get stronger and reduces risk of injury when training
how do vitamins help gymnasts ?
help keep gymnasts bones and ligaments strong so on the rings they are able to pull themselves up easier
how do minerals help swimmers ?
electrolytes in minerals allow effective muscular contractions which makes it easier for the swimmer to repeatedly move their arms and legs, which is good for long distance
how does fibre help a dancer ?
fibre prevents bloating so dancer is easier to lift in the air, slow releasing energy so performer feels less bloated which make them able to do it
how much water should you drink daily ?
2 litres
how much water should you drink per hour of exercise ?
500-750 ml
what are micronutrients?
water, fibre, vitamins, minerals
what are electrolytes ?
they facilitate the transmission of nerve impulses
where is fat soluble found ?
in fatty foods and animal products
what is a balanced diet ?
eating the right amount of food from different food groups. eating around 55-60% carbohydrates, 25-30% fats, and 15-20% protein
describe ectomorphs
tall, lean, with little body fat and little muscle
describe mesomorphs
wedge shape body, muscular, lower body fat
describe endomorphs
higher body fat
give 2 sports and explain why they are suitable for ectomorphs
- runner- they have to use heir height, longer legs to cover more ground so they are faster
- pole vaulter- tall so they can jump higher over the pole, lighter so easier to get over the top
give 2 sports and explain why they are suitable for mesomorphs
- gymnast- they need to be able to hold their own body weight on the rings
- rugby player (winger) - need to be agile to mover quick to be able to tackle
give 2 sports and explain why they are suitable for endomorphs
-boxer (heavy weight)- they can give more power to attacks and recover from them easier
- rugby payer (prop) so they can add power to the scrum
explain how obesity limits the function of the cardiovascular system and how it affects sports
heart and lungs work less efficiently to supply the working muscles with 02, meaning slower movements, this means the performer cannot move around the court as it consumes too much energy and they become out of breath, they tire easily and have more weight to carry- using more energy means they are working at a high intensity but low activity levels. less effective in attack and defence to limited overall movement
explain how obesity limits muscular endurance and how it affects sports
body is unable to complete tasks without getting fatigued quickly so the athlete is not able to endure doing lots of exercise and completing skills as they get tired easily. In sports like rowing they will not be able to move as quickly as their arms get tired fast so they have low chances of winning
explain how obesity decreases flexibility and how this affects sports
greatly reduced motion at joints so participant cannot move around as quickly as they are stiffer in skills, and will find it hard to complete movements like the splits. At a competition they will loose marks for their legs not meeting 180 degrees in the splits due to lack of flexibility
explain how obesity reduces speed and how this affects sports
body cannot move more than walking due to stress on joints and lack of cardiovascular fitness so if they are playing centre in a netball match and need to get to the other side of the court to attack/defend they will struggle so they may not get to where they need to be in time resulting in the ball being lost
explain how obesity hinders agility and how this affects sports
less control when changing direction at any speed so in basketball whilst dribbling if opponent approaches its more difficult to change direction so ball could get intercepted from them and a goal could be scored from the opposing team
describe how obesity affects physical health
it would decrease as they aren’t able to display components of fitness which affects their gameplay in matches, they are more prone to illness so do not have as much time to play
describe how obesity affects mental health
if athlete cannot play they have lower self esteem, leading to depression
describe how obesity affects social health
they cannot go out as often so its difficult to see friends and family, do not attend sports clubs so do not see teammates
