Unit Brief
Learners will find out what influences people to get active and what needs have to be met if they are to stay active.
Unit Information
A lot of people take part in physical activity – have you ever wondered what encourages you to be active? Maybe you aren’t active – there’s a reason for that too! How an activity is run and how you are treated by the person leading it affects whether or not you enjoy it and if you take part again. In this unit, you will think about how you can motivate others to get more active, more often.
You will learn about what gets people to be more active and what might stop them, for example you might not take part in some activities because they cost too much or because your friends won’t do them with you.
You will find out about what needs people have and how an activity can be planned to meet them, for example some people want to increase their self-confidence or make new friends. You will work in a team to plan how to get different people to be more active and this will involve you communicating with others.
Throughout this unit you will share ideas with others and build your ability to work as part of a team. The transferable and sector skills you develop in this unit can enable you to progress to further learning on Level 2 sport courses, coaching courses and other activity leadership opportunities.
They will also support you in completing the core skills units in Group A of the qualification.
Learning Aims
A Find out what influences people to be active and what needs they may have
B Demonstrate communication skills to encourage people to be active when working in a team.
