Analysing the Competition

Analysing the Competition 




This program is called the 'Gymnastics Artistic Women Team  London 2012 Olympic Games' this show contains the Olympics game that was broadcast-ed on BBC Olympics 1. The date of the program was broadcast-ed at the 31/07/2012 which had a view streak of 796,000 viewers that was watching the Olympics games of the women playing the gymnastics artistic  women team during that week. The time slot of the program to be viewed was at 18:42. 

The similarities between mine documentary idea and the program of the London 2012 Olympics games are not really the, the only aspects of the two shows are in common is that they are both sports related, and that the gymnasts show the audience that gym is used to keep health but its only without the audience knowing. The age range of athletes that are in the Olympics are roughly between 18 - 28 which kind of relates to the type of people and experts that I will have in my documentary idea and also my idea contains the different types of interviews and opinions about the sport or game between the two shows. I will beat the view figures by having more entertaining features like for example the games that might test strength or speed which will help the audience by interested in what the documentary is about and what its talking about.




This program is called ' Live Ford Super Sunday ' the shows topic is about the Manchester United playing against Chelsea which was on the 05/05/2013 also which is shown on sky sports 1. The viewing figures are 1,739,000 that was watching the Manchester United and Chelsea match which is a big game because of the two teams that are playing each are big and well known around the world. 

The similarities between the two shows which is my documentary idea about young gym lovers and then the second show is about the big football match between the two big teams in the premier league, are not very similar but the only similar elements that are the same is the audience type that are watching the game. The age range for the audience that watch the Live Ford Super Sunday program is between 15 - 60+ which is a good thing because the age range for my documentary idea is between 14-17 which is also the BBC are asking me to target my audience around to. The only way I would try and beat the viewing figure for the program is that I would try and use different and more interesting facts about gym which could try and catch the audiences attention. 
The program here is called the UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship which is show on ESPN and the date of the program when it comes on 05/03/2013. The viewing for this show is estimated at 20,000 view which isn't much. 

The similarities between my documentary and the program UFC .. isn't very similar but the few things that are similar is that both of the program are sports or has some elements of fitness that is involved which allows the audience for UFC could be related to my documentary idea which is about young gym lover. Although that the age range for UFC is aimed to a wide range which is aged between 18 - 40+ this can still be acceptable and can be related to my documentary idea about fitness and gym. I think I would need to have to put in interesting clips and facts for the audience to be interested and engaged the same as they are with watching UFC. For me to beat the viewing figures I would need to have more creative idea about how it will be entertaining and also how gym plus fitness if good for you which I would like to send the message out to my audience and also the others. 

My documentary idea has a good and effective topic which can motivate children and adults to go to the gym and also show them how it helps people there daily lifestyle which is important because of the impact it can have on life in general. For my documentary I would like to have my documentary to be shown during the Spring because I would like the audience to have an idea that they can can have healthy and good looking body. So I think that my documentary should be shown between end of February to the beginning of March. Plus the times slot I would like it to be between 6 to 7 which is a good time for young teenagers and adults to watch which also would be good because that time the audience would start to watch there TV which will help me get good viewing figures.

2. Why do people go to the gym?


People go to the gym simply because they either love staying fit and healthy, do it fun to take up spare time, do it for competition wise and etc. It's ways for some people to let out there pain and anger that have build, which is a good thing because instead of causing violence, you can just let it all out on gym depending on what you want to do. For example you could work your cardio to where yourself out or release anger by doing weight training which is very benefional. 

"Most people know that exercising is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle--helping to burn calories, reducing the risk of obesity and protecting the heart. There are many ways to exercise and many places to do it. You can exercise and be fit without incurring the expense of joining a gym, but exercising at a gym does provide benefits that you cannot get by working out at home."
3. What are the risks of joining a gym at a young age?

I've been going to the gym for around 5-6 months , 3 times a week for around 1.5 hours at a time, doing all your standard exercises bench pressing etc and i feel i'm well within my ability and haven't had any aches and pains aside from the normal after workout pains :)
I'm 6'2 and weigh around 80kg (13stone) if this is of any use, and imho i am still growing quite rapidly."

"Working out is an excellent way to relieve the anxiety and stress that everyone feels from time to time. Instead of downing a gallon of ice cream, or drinking your troubles away, head to the gym to clear your mind. If you have a friend that is a good listener, ask him to come along with you so you can have a chat while you workout."




"People go to the gym to keep their body fit and in a good health state. Exercise helps in burning calories and hence protecting the heart and also reducing the risk of obesity."

3. What are the risks of joining a gym at a young age?


The risk of joining a gym at a young age are that you could injure yourself if you not careful or not using the equipment properly. Young aged people can be more active but silly if there not careful about using the equipment properly, it can cost them a lot of money to pay back the gym. Young aged people can also try and be clever and try to workout how to use the equipment themselves if they don't know how to use the equipment. Young people have to be very careful in terms of people that they are surrounded by because the area that they are in can be dangerour for example if there is a gym in a bad area and there some people are known to have done crimes, there is a chance that the person can be kidnapped or rapped. So by this it can be dangerour for some young people who join a gym. Some of the other down sides to gym is they gym can affect your growth if you start at a young age but the good thing about gym is that there are many other ways of staying fit and health plus gaining mucles by the different workout that fitness instructors can teach and show.



"I've been told that lifting weights and doing weight training as part of an exercise program can be damaging to epiphyseal plates, having researched this on the internet i was wondering whether or not this is actually the case, i could find no evidence supporting this, but the information came from a reliable source to begin with, wondering if anyone might be able to help?

4. How does the society help influence young teenagers to go gym?


The society helps influences the young teenagers to go gym by people talking them into being healthy and fit which they try to make the teenagers image to look good and to have a good looking body. Gym intrustors also can help young teenagers by giving them the motivation and can challenage them to train and get fit at a certain date. Young teenager can also see other young people around the world who can be obese and are not attractive which is a way of young teenager to aim to be fit and help them be influenced in joining a gym and work out to be fit and health. Gym instructors also show and explain the benefits of being fit, they can get certain access to things like standing out and looking good with there fit and strong body. 


"Physical fitness is maintained by a range of physical activities. Human factors and social influences are important in starting and maintaining such activities. Social environments can influence motivation and persistence, through pressures towards social conformity."

6. How does the research devoloped your documentary idea?


The research helps devolop my documentary idea because I have lots of things that I can explain and talk about, also i'm very interested and passionate about the documentary idea. There are a few things that i might have to research into which I think shouldn't be hard to get hold of, I would have to go to certain experts which I have access to that i can ask and get so when I do produce the documentary I will have all the information and research that I will need to explain and talk about in the documentary. The research and information that I get will help me be more detailed in terms of explaining properly about each subject with the topic more understanding for the audience to watch and take in.
