1 Social Factors

2 Playing fairly, by the rules, is important when taking part in physical activities. Explain how rules keep participants safe. (2 marks) Examples include: this can ensure that play is safe so that dangerous techniques are not used/ without this there would be no defined boundaries of acceptable behaviour if someone does not abide by the rules/ they can be prevented from taking a further part in the activity/ or even stopped from starting in the first place if they are inappropriately dressed or wearing incorrect equipment/ so they don't get hurt.

3 What might happen if a specific safety rule was not enforced? Give one example. (2 marks) Examples include: if fingernails were not cut in netball games/ opponents could be scratched if any physical contact occurs a dangerous, illegal technique, such a spear tackle in rugby/ could result in a serious injury for an opponent wearing any type of jewellery during activity, such as a belly bar in trampoline/ can result in a serious injury such as a tear wound not wearing shin pads when playing soccer/ could result in a serious injury such as a cut or break.

4 A lot of sport is shown on television. Describe the ways in which the director of a televised sports programme could influence how sport will be seen by television viewers. (3 marks) Examples include: there can be a very positive influence as all of the action can be shown/ from fair and unbiased angles./ They can also influence the commentators or summarisers to be fair in their commentary and show a balanced content./ They can decide to not show disruptive aspects/ such as streakers on the pitch/ so that this sort of behaviour is not encouraged they can have a negative influence as they may choose to show certain parts of the action/ they can even edit shows or programmes which can give a false impression of the actual events./ They can choose to focus on poor attitudes/ or even poor behaviour by fans, to sensationalise certain aspects and give a sport, or individual a bad name can have a positive influence by using effects such as action replays or different camera angles, or microphones by the pitch or ref link.
