Badminton and Figueroa’s Framework

Introduction
The purpose of this research is to connect Figueroa’s Framework to my decision to join or not a badminton club. After close examination I choose the 2 levels that for me have the most significant impact on people’s decision on sports and describe them linking with badminton.
Badminton
Badminton is a racquet sport played by either two opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles), who take positions on opposite halves of a rectangular court divided by a net. Players score points by striking a shuttlecock with their racquet so that it passes over the net and lands in their opponents' half of the court.
Figueroa’s Framework
Professor Peter Figueroa developed a tool to investigate the issues surrounding access, equity and equality in sport and physical activity. Constructed over five separate levels: individual, interpersonal, institutional, structural and cultural, these areas are used to investigate the ways in which inequities challenge the area of sport and physical activity.

Each of the levels contained within Figueroa’s framework connect with the others and they all contribute to shaping the overall joint effect. They show the different functions that reinforce, create, remove and eliminate barriers and inequities within sport and physical activity.

This framework will be used to analyse and discuss my possible involvement in a badminton club.

In my opinion the most important levels are the Individual and the Interpersonal because for me are the levels that influence you more than the others.

The Individual Level is involved with our personality, attitudes, beliefs and values. All the personal needs, satisfaction, motivation, self-esteem are included in this level, so

    The individual level of Figueroa’s Framework, looks at a person’s own attitudes, values and beliefs. It is also essential to look at whether there have been external influences involved in shaping these attitudes, particularly those that relate to stereotypes (Weebly, 2014 – page 2). This level is crucially important as an individual’s choice is the main contributor towards their participation and sporting pathways (Sports Gov, 2013 – page 3). The second level, interpersonal, investigates family, coaches, role model influences as well as the influence of the social norms of society. This level focuses on the way peers and family influence ones participation in different physical activities. The institutional level, being the last level covered in the presentation, focuses on the influence schools, sporting clubs, local community facilities and certain family beliefs and religions. Our participation levels can either be enabled or affected by these different…

    The individual level of Figueroa’s Framework impacts me because I believe that I need to improve my own personal ability. By improving my individual ability I will be able to access more opportunities to play volleyball. To improve my performance I would first need to improve my self confidence. Studies have shown that by improving confidence you also improve you performance. [2] By improving my performance I will then become more willing to make more time to play volleyball as I will enjoy it more. This will impact on my participation and enjoyment of volleyball because I will be more willing to participate because I will have more confidence, I will also enjoy volleyball more as I will have improved my skills.

    Badminton requires a high level of energy to quickly move around the court, deliver effective shots and sustain a match. Knowing how this energy is generated is crucial.All other things being equal, the player with more stamina will most likely win a match in baminton. This is because while good stroke skills, effective shot placements and fast footwork are important characteristics in a good player, fitness is necessary in executing and sustaining these movements for the duration of a match. As a player's energy is depleted, his or her ability to perform also goes down.…

    Badminton is my favourite sport. It is the fastest racket game in the world. It is played with rackets and a shuttlecock. There are six main shots: the serve, the clear, the drop, the smash, the forehand drive and the backhand drive. The court on which badminton is played is in the shape of a rectangle and is divided in half by a net. I started playing badminton when I was old enough or strong enough to swing the rackets. I love racket sports, especially badminton because badminton involves a lot of running, stopping, and changing directions, it is very easy to become tired while playing. A high level of physical fitness is required for a person to play several games continuously. I usually last only about two games. After two games I usually just stand on the court, rather than running to get the shuttle. It’s in my blood but I rarely play anymore. Where I live now, it's hard to find a partner to play with.…
