Figueroa’s Framework
In sport, there are varying social factors that influence participation rates. The basis for these relate to five influences of Figueroa’s Framework. The framework was developed by Professor Peter Figueroa, and is used to analyse varying social factors such as access, equity and equality in physical activity. These three social factors influence the opinions of varying participants. Figueroa's framework has been applied to specific sports related case studies. Both equality, equity and access can change participation rates by taking attention to equal rights and opportunities, and identifying barriers that are faced when someone aims to participate in particular physical activities.
The five levels in the framework include, individual, interpersonal, institutional, structural and cultural. Together, these levels connect together to contribute each their own role in addressing the various barriers, inequities and access to physical activity. All barriers cannot be overcome simply by one level; each contributes their own input to the overall result.
