  4. The History of Sport – An Overview • Sporting events and changes are influenced by the economic, social and political situations in place at the time.

  5. Medieval period (1200 - 1485) • People had little time or energy for recreational activities • Leisure time activities were originally confined to feast days • Games were local in nature, each village having its own particular activities for feast days • From time to time the government banned traditional activities in favour of archery training

  6. Tudor and Stuart period (1485 - 1714) • Traditional folk games and activities flourished in Tudor times • Puritanism greatly reduced the opportunities to play and types of activity allowed • After the restoration in 1660, traditional activities were revived • Sport moved away from its former links with merrymaking and lawlessness

  7. Hanoverian period (1714 - 1790) • Play and sport were largely ignored by the government • People of all classes enjoyed their leisure to the full • Increasing industrialisation demanded regular working patterns • There was some pressure for Sunday to be a day of rest • Large gatherings for sport often meant social disorder • Regular, organised, rule-governed sport on a national scale emerged

  8. Changing times (1790 -1830) • Traditional sport was under attack from all sides • Factory owners wanted a regular working week • Property owners feared the damage caused by large crowds • Churches criticised idleness, drunkenness and slack morality • Commercialisation of sport developed, especially in horse racing, cricket and prize fighting

  9. Victorian Sport (1830 - 1901) • Sport developed in the context of industrial capitalism and class inequality • Sport became linked to a moral code defined by the middle classes: - it was accepted that sport developed character and morality - competition had to be fair and rule-governed with similar conditions for all players - sport was to be played, not for reward, but for its own sake • Nationwide sport developed through the influence of technology, the public schools and the national governing bodies • For the masses, Saturday afternoon free from work was the turning point, enabling them to play and spectate • Amateur and professional sport became increasingly separated • Working class sport in school was limited largely to drill and therapeutic gymnastics

  10. Edwardian Sport (1901 - 1918) • Organised sporting involvement expanded rapidly across all classes • Increasingly, the different classes played their sport separately • Public school athleticism still dominated sport •Male working class influence increased, notably in football in England and rugby in Wales. However, working class women were largely excluded from sporting involvement • Commercialisation of sport continued with large numbers of spectators and increased numbers of professionals in major sports • Sport was increasingly a matter of national concern

  11. Between the world wars (1918 - 1940) • Steady growth in sports participation continued for all classes of society, although working class worm were least involved • Most sports were still class orientated • Football (in all its versions) continued to increase in popularity and by the 1930s, was the most popular sporting activity • Lack of facilities became an issue, particularly when national teams failed • There was little government involvement in sport, apart from physical education in schools • School physical education moved from therapeutic exercises to recreative physical training • Commercialisation of sport expanded rapidly, especially the provision for spectator sport • Sport, as a part of a national culture, now extended to the majority of the population

  12. British Sport (1940 - Today) • An improved standard of living has enabled greater participation in sport for most social groups • Amateur administrators only reluctantly allowed commercial forces to enter the world of sport • Professional sportspeople had a long battle to be given fair rewards • Television coverage increased in importance for sport and the sponsors • The definition of amateurism for competition was replaced by the concept of eligibility • Central government involvement in sport has always been fragmentary • There has been a long standing underfunding of sport by central government • An advisory Sports Council was established in 1965 and the independent executive Sports Council in 1972

  13. British Sport (1940 - Today) • Physical education was established in the 1944 Act for its educational value • The movement approach conflicted with traditional games teaching • Physical education moved away from educational values towards physical recreation and more recently towards health-related fitness • Various academic qualifications in physical education stimulated scrutiny of the subject (for example, BEd, CSE, GCSE, A-Level) • Physical education is now established in the national curriculum as a foundation subject • There has been an increasing influence of market forces on schools, physical education, sports facilities and sport

  14. Ancient Olympic Games • Started 776 BC • Banned 394 AD – no pagan festivals allowed • Held in Olympia – a sacred fertile valley • Purpose – religious, cultural, sporting festival, in honour of Zeus (father of gods) • Philosophy – discipline for body and mind. Perfect human – ‘marriage of mind and muscle’ • 4 yrs = Olympiad • Only Greek’s allowed to compete • Split into independent states – truce of peace during Olympics • 50,000 spectators • Athletes – arrived 10 months before to prepare! • Women not allowed to compete or watch • No clothing allowed! • Prizes – crown of olive branches

  18. Romans – fighting and Gladiators (up to 175 days a yr dedicated to it), alongside Baths to cleanse and relax (there were over 850 in Rome in the 4th century, all free of charge) • North America - Lacrosse
