Many factors can have a major influence on a persons level of physical activity.

Support your chosen sport
Funding sports/activity holidays or trips
Spectators – will they stay and watch
Role models – is sport valued within the family?
Participating with you
Q1. People of the same age / have similar interests
Q2.
Can influence behaviour and attitude e.g. If all your friends like and play sport it will have a positive effect and you will join in / May come to spectate / show interest in your achievements
If a groups attitude to sport is negative it becomes harder for sporty individuals within the group to play sport and they will most likely develop the same attitude / peer pressure
