Findings
1. How sport and physical activity is interpreted
Sport is something you compete with other people against like football, basketball, water polo, any kind of sport.(16 year old male, Group C)
Sport is more a certain thing – in a category. Physical activity could be anything. With sport, you have to do something specific for it. (16 year old female, Group A)
You don’t have to be good at physical activity, you just have to do it.(P7 boy, Group 4)

Barriers to participation (YLT)
– ‘Academic’ subjects versus PE
– Perceived expectations
– Competing time demands (school work/Part-time work)

Discouraging factors (YLT)
– Mixed PE classes
– Dissatisfaction with school facilities
– Biased media focus
You see a lot more men’s football broadcast on SKY Sports because it’s worth more money to them. (Male, Group B)
