Details
Walking football is a moderate-intensity activity that has shown to be associated with multiple health effects, and has been identified as a sport with great potential to be adopted by a wide range of groups. At the same time, Walking football has the advantage that participation in the game is perceived as fun and can motivate people to continued activity. Walking football is usually played 6 v 6, but can be adapted according to the number of participants. Walking football is a team-based sport that is played on a smaller pitch and only at a walking pace with no tackles allowed.
The session will be led by a Walking football ambassador for the Uppsala region appointed by the Swedish Football Association together with researcher Andreas Caspers.
