Brief Background of the Study and Research Gap:

In order to find areas that need improvement, this research looks at how accessible

sporting facilities are, how underrepresented groups are, and how accessible adapted

equipment is. To better understand the many barriers that women, people of color, people

with disabilities, and other marginalized groups have while trying to participate in and enjoy

athletic events, the researcher can will be conducting stakeholder consultations and

encouraging community involvement. It can tell whether the Commission is committed to

inclusion and social fairness by looking at its programs, policies, and methods of allocating

resources. Incorporating worldwide inclusive sports development models' best practices, this

review aims to provide the groundwork for developing a comprehensive strategy tailored to

HELP sporting opportunities and resources. Participation in sports can

promote physical health, self-confidence, leadership skills, and social

integration, contributing to gender equality and empowerment.

3. Indigenous Communities. Indigenous communities often face

socio-economic barriers to sports participation. Inclusive sports

initiatives can provide these communities with access to sports facilities,

equipment, coaching, and competition opportunities, promoting physical

health, cultural pride, and community cohesion.

4. Underrepresented Minorities. Ethnic minorities, socioeconomically

disadvantaged individuals, and other underrepresented groups may

face barriers to sports participation due to discrimination, a lack of

resources, or social stigma. Inclusive sports initiatives can address

these barriers by promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in sports

programs and activities.

5. Coaches and sports administrators involved in implementing

inclusive sports participation initiatives can benefit from increased

knowledge, skills, and resources related to diversity, equity, and

inclusion. Training and support in inclusive coaching practices can help

them create welcoming and inclusive sports environments for all

participants.

6. Community Organizations. Nonprofit organizations, community

Role Towards Enhancing National Sports Competitiveness
Research Problem When it comes to the growth and competitiveness of sports in the

Philippines, the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) is a key player.

The PSC plays a pivotal role in developing the abilities of Filipino

athletes for competition on a national and worldwide level since it is the

principal government entity responsible for promoting and supervising

sports programs and activities. In order to assess the efficacy of

present policies and programs and to find areas for improvement, it is

crucial to understand how stakeholders perceive the PSC's role in

increasing national sports competitiveness. There is a lack of research

that investigates how stakeholders perceive the PSC's programs and

Brief Background of the Study and Research Gap:

By filling this knowledge vacuum, this research hopes to shed light on the pros, cons,

possibilities, and hurdles linked to the PSC's function in encouraging healthy competition in

the Philippines' sporting arenas. The role of the Philippine Sports Commission in improving

national sports competitiveness is significant, but there is a lack of study on how stakeholders

perceive its efficacy and influence. So far, research has mostly ignored stakeholder views in

favor of examining Commission programs, policies, and funding distribution. To fully grasp the

PSC's impact on national sports development, it is crucial to comprehend the perspectives of

many stakeholders, such as players, coaches, administrators, government officials, and

sports fans. The Commission's actions may be helped or hindered by gaining insight into
