What are the benefits of taking part in sport, an activity or a pastime ? Let’s discuss..
Some of the many benefits of sport participation for children include : reduced risk of obesity increased cardiovascular fitness healthy growth of bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons improved coordination and balance a greater ability to physically relax and, therefore, avoid the complications of chronic muscular tension (such as headache or back ache) improved sleep mental health benefits, such as greater confidence improved social skills improved personal skills, including cooperation and leadership.

Share your Stories of Sports….. Once Upon a time there was a football team that used to win every match because they were very good players. They were about to play in the football World Cup final, but they weren´t nervous because they were better than the rival team , or at least that´s what they thought.

Do you have idea of mass participation in sports events, including running events, mass cycle rides, five-a-side football tournaments and triathlons.
Professional and Nonprofessional sports N on-professional ’ sport and the idea is that anyone can take part.
Discuss in group of two ; W hat sports or activities you do, where, when, why?
Why do you like Sports??? Why after a certain age interest in sports decline? Can something be done about that?
The pie graphs below show the result of a survey of children's activities. The first graph shows the cultural and leisure activities that boys participate in, whereas the second graph shows the activities in which the girls participate.
. Turning to the first chart, we can observe that boys prefer playing computer games (34% participation rate) than taking other activities. Playing basketball comes as the second most popular leisure, practiced by almost a third of male children. Basketball is followed by soccer, which is exercised by 17%. Skateboarding and listening to music are less preferable activities, chosen by 11% and 10% of boys respectively. Reading, the least popular cultural activity among boys, represents only two percent. Taking a closer look at the second chart, we can see that girls' most preferred activity is dancing, being 27% of the total. In contrast to the boys' preferences, reading is chosen by more than a fifth of all girls. Although percentage of female children who play computer games is roughly twice less than that of boys (16%), this activity is third most popular on the girls' chart. With a slight difference between computer games and netball, the latter is practiced at 15% rate. Similarly to skateboarding popularity among boys, 11% of girls go in for gymnastics. Listening to music comes as the least popular leisure, with a proportion of 10%, equal to those on the first chart.
How can sport be more accessible ? The idea behind this that anyone can participate in sports activities.
I dentify categories of people who typically are unable or reluctant to take part in sport in their country and identify factors that might make them less likely to participate. They discuss what could be done to provide more opportunities for such groups to participate, and how those groups could be engaged in an activity.
Design a questionnaire or survey to ask other classmates about their interest and participation in sports..
Sample Survey
How Your questionnaire could be refined and improved to elicit more data about why some people do more sports or activities than others.
People like sports because they need an escape from real-world troubles . People like sports because it provides a sense of belonging, a connection to a wider world. In other words: There is no single answer to why people watch sports, because the answer doesn't lie in the game, it lies inside the individual.
MARATHON OR FUN RUN NO prior qualification or no membership is required
Conduct a research on Mass participation Events..

Time is one of the biggest reasons people don't exercise. The second and third reasons are not having support, and lack of options. Some other reasons include: lack of knowledge, discomfort, lack of facilities or equipment and cost . Discuss and collect data by asking different sets of groups.
The most interesting part….
How could we organise a mass participation sports or activity event in our locality? D ecide on a type of mass participation sports event that could be staged in your locality, with the aim of encouraging as many people as possible to take part, including those categories of people identified earlier as less likely to participate in sport.
How the event could be planned and organised ? H ow to publicise the event to attract as wide a range of entrants as possible. They allocate roles and tasks among the individuals in the group, and use a range of print, visuals, multimedia, or creative media to create publicity materials for the event, with a specific focus on encouraging participation by groups of people who would not normally take part.
You can begin with as small as sport event organised for your class…
Collect Funds Decide on the main purpose and objective of the marathon . Select a date and a location for your event. Develop a budget for your event. Determine what licenses or other permissions you will need. Promote and market your event. Purchase the items you'll need for your event . Plan to arrive as early as possible and do a dry run of the course . Clean up the site Say Thankyou
Groups finally present their publicity materials to the class and provide a verbal commentary on them to attract different groups of people to participate in various sports..
