Walking Football & Parkinson's
Participation in walking football has been growing rapidly over the last few years as the slowed down version of the beautiful game we all know and love becomes more and more popular. The sport provides a brilliant opportunity for everyone to get involved and enjoy the national sport. It can also provide those who have given up playing, whether that is due to age or injury, a chance to get back playing and enjoying the sport of football once again.
Walking football is known to have several benefits to those who participate, including helping with social isolation, building community cohesion and a whole range of physical benefits such as improved heart function. However, the sport can also be massively beneficial to those with Parkinson's. Playing walking football has proven to help people with Parkinson's manager their symptoms, improve strength, co-ordination, balance and mobility. Playing can also help to improve & maintain muscle mass & mental stimulation, which can prove effective in slowing the progression of Parkinson's.
The festival was a brilliant success last year and we were proud to have been the official sponsors for the festival. Were you playing on the day or part of the crowds? Watch our highlights below to see the fun you can join in on this year!
