This is the intro session for 5024SPODEV which began on Thursday 17th November 2011

1. Good Afternoon…

2. 5024SPODEV –
Sport, Physical Activity
& Health

3. Today & our session aims
Recap “sport”…
Recap “physical activity”...
Recap “health”...
• Context Setting
• “Connect”
• Next Steps…

4. We value your feedback...
• In the equivalent module appraisal last year
students gave a low score when asked if the
theory studied had prepared them for
practice.
• This has led the route team to enhance the
structure and content of the module to
improve the application of learning in
practical settings.
Tell me what you think as the module progresses

5. We value your feedback...
• Other feedback received has led to this
module and its content undergoing a
review and redesign to ensure
improvements can be made this year.
Tell me what you think as the module progresses

6. Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module you will be able to
1. Contextualise the multidimensional model of health,
evaluate the health-related impact of sport and
physical activity and evaluate the differences
between sport and physical activity's impact on
health
2. Evaluate the impact of real and perceived barriers
to lifelong physical activity
3. Interpret and appraise the various opportunities
available to undertake health benefiting activity
4. Evaluate the future role of sport and physical activity
in improving health

7. Module Structure
• The aim of this option module is to
examine the role of sport and physical
activity in the achievement of health. This
module has been designed to explore the
concepts of health and well-being, of sport
& physical activity, and the relationships
between them.

8. • The delivery of the module is structured in
three phases.
• The first phase, in weeks 9-14, will see
you utilising the Five Ways to Well-being,
as identified by the New Economics
Foundation (NEF) in 2008, as a framework
to develop a method of promoting physical
activity and improving well-being.

9. • In weeks 17-22 you will further develop
your underpinning knowledge relating to
the Five Ways to Well-being and evaluate
the evidence base within this. The role of
sport and physical activity will also be
examined.
• Weeks 23-28 will see you develop the
learning from the first two phases into an
effective way to engage individuals
effectively in improving their health
through sport and physical activity.

15. And so, Sport…

16. • “…When mentioning sport, the description
established by the Council of Europe
Sports Charter (1993) is
„all forms of physical activity
which, through casual or organised
participation, aim at expressing or
improving physical fitness and mental
wellbeing, forming social relationships or
obtaining results in competition at all
levels‟…”
Sport England (2004: 2)

17. Is sport good for us?
There are…
“…few ideas which are widely and
uncritically accepted” as the relationship
between sport & health and the general
consensus that „sport is good for you‟
Waddington, (2000) in Coakley & Dunning, (2000: 408)

18. Furthermore…
• ... most sociological definitions of sport
include recognition of physical exertion as
an essential component, however not all
physical exercise involves sport.

19. Is sport good for you?
“Sport embraces much more than traditional team
games and competition...”
Sport England (2004: 2)
“…means the 105 sports or activities which are
currently recognised by Sport England.”
Sport England (2007: 12)

20. What is sport?
• In small groups –
– Discuss what you consider sport is?
– What are the key characteristics you
can identify?

21. Coakley (2006)
• "Sports are institutionalized competitive
activities that involve rigorous physical
exertion or the use of relatively complex
physical skills by participants motivated by
internal and external rewards." p. 6

22. Remember, however…
• …according to Waddington, (2000) in
Coakley & Dunning, (2000), most
sociological definitions of sport include
recognition of physical exertion as an
essential component, however not all
physical exercise involves sport.

23. England, the sporting
nation
• “benefits of sport are well rehearsed -
national identity and prestige, community
development, personal challenge, as well
as economic and health benefits. Sport is
a central element in the English way of
life.” p. 3

24. So, is sport good for you?
“few ideas which are widely and
uncritically accepted” as the relationship
between sport & health and the general
consensus that „sport is good for you‟
Waddington, (2000) in Coakley & Dunning, (2000: 408)

25. Physical Activity
• Physical activity: any force exerted by
skeletal muscle that results in energy
expenditure above resting level
• Exercise: a subset of physical
activity, which is
volitional, planned, structured, repetitive
and aimed at improvement or
maintenance of any aspect of fitness or
health

26. Costs and Benefits…
Source: World Health Organization [WHO] (2003: 3)

27. “Lack of activity
destroys the good
condition of every
human being while
movement and
methodical physical
exercise save and
preserve it.” Plato

28. And so, “Health”
A broad concept…
Huge range of meanings…
Hael – Whole

29. What is Health?
“not merely an absence of disease, but a
state of complete physical, mental, spiritual
and social well-being”
World Health Organisation, (1974) in Haralambos & Holborn, (2004: 292)

30. What about Well-being?
• According to the New Economics
Foundation, well-being is a concept made
up of two elements –
• feeling good
and
• functioning well

31. BESITY
…the ticking time bomb!

32. An Epidemic..!
What needs to change?

35. Questions?
• Does sport increase health and well-being
of participants & decrease sedentary
lifestyles?
• Does sport turn the majority of the
population on to being physically active?
• What role does sport promotion have on
physical activity participation?

37. You are…
• …Physical Activity Development Officers who
have been given the challenge of utilising the
Five Ways to Well-being to improve
participation. Part of this task has been
sponsored by a local camera club, who have
stated that you must use photography as a
means of improving well-being.

38. In groups of 3 or 4,
• you must create a report which, by using a
mix of visual images and concise text,
illustrates ways to engage inactive
participants in the Five Ways to Well-being.
• This task will be developed during weeks 9-
13 with specific content delivered and
specific activities set to build towards the
online submission date.

39. Part 1 – Coursework: 60%
Item 1: “Engaging the Five Ways to Well-
being” report: 30% (1,500 words plus
supporting appendices).
Assessment criteria
• Analysis of the issues, including relevant
supporting materials (90%)
• Presentation of report (10%)

40. “Connect”
The New Economics Foundation (nef)
http://www.neweconomics.org/projects/five-ways-well-being

41. “Connect”
• In 2008, nef was commissioned by the UK
Government‟s Foresight Project on Mental
Capital and Well-being to review the inter-
disciplinary work of over 400 scientists from
across the world.
• The aim was to identify a set of evidence-
based actions to improve well-being, which
individuals would be encouraged to build into
their daily lives.

42. The Five Ways to Well-being
• Connect
• Be Active
• Take Notice
• Keep Learning
• Give

43. “Connect”
• “With the people around you. With family,
friends, colleagues and neighbours. At
home, work, school or in your local
community. Think of these as the
cornerstones of your life and invest time in
developing them. Building these
connections will support and enrich you
every day.”
Aked et al. (2008: 5)

44. 1. What does “Connect” mean to you?
2. How will you use sport, physical
activity & exercise to “Connect”??
3. What is the key message you would
want to emphasise regarding
“Connect”?
4. What image would capture
“Connect”?

45. And now…
• …the next steps.
• For next week –
Identify the members of your group
Consider how you will start to collect the
images that you will need
Go out and “Connect”…

46. And now…
• …by 4.30PM TODAY.
• Sent an e-mail to me answering the four
question posed in the earlier slide.
