Football is a terrific source of exercise and fun for people of all
ages. Like any sporting activity you should not participate unless you
are fit to do so. The information on the pages in this section are
intended as general advice for anyone participating in football.
It is imperative that you consult with a doctor or suitably
qualified professional before undertaking any exercise programme or
change to your diet. If in doubt contact your local GP.
Sporting activity can lead to injury. Each year there are almost 20
million reported sporting injuries in the UK. In conjunction with the
National Stadium Sports Injury Clinic at Hampden Park, this section
provides information on first aid and injury prevention.
