Football

I like playing football.Playing football for one hour, three times a week has been shown to have significant benefits to health and wellbeing. It has long been understood that physical activity helps to maintain fitness and wellbeing. The combination of  this with having fun seems to be the best choice as it stops an activity becoming boring or tedious.It has now been scientifically proven that football helps in many ways.

The studies shows that the effects of recreational football on men aged between 20 and 43. Each person was told to play football for one hour, three times a week.  Results of the program were compared to non-active men of the same demographic.Results showed that the footballing group had received health benefits in the form of lower body fat, lower lipid levels or blood fats, increases in muscle mass and also a lower level of blood pressure. Football has greater health benefits than jogging which has long been the staple exercise of the health conscious. The combination slow and fast movement and some bouts of sprinting can heart work at different paces and not just at an elevated level.In playing football ‘interval training’ is mimics the new trend which is what fitness trainers the world over now recommend as a more effective way of controlling body fat and increasing overall fitness.
