  • February 2021 That There Is Some Good News - Levels of Coronavirus Are Going Down in All Four Nations of the UK
    HIGHAM & RUSHDEN NEWSLETTER The BBC reported on 13th February 2021 that there is some good news - levels of coronavirus are going down in all four nations of the UK. It is evidence that lockdown is having the desired effect, even with the more infectious variant. But experts warn that infection levels remain high. Meanwhile the R number - the average number of people that one infected person will pass the virus onto - is at its lowest level since July 2020. Estimates put it at between 0.7 and 0.9, meaning the epidemic is shrinking. From the Chair: Dear members. The week after next is our AGM, all done on Zoom. I urge you to attend. Any words I have, I save for that meeting. I’m really fed up with writing, hearing and feeling the fear which Covid brings. As I write my daughter and her two children are suffering with Covid and on Monday my sister buries her much loved partner. I really hope we can begin to turn a corner without any back pedalling. See you all soon. Angela. Chairman.

  • Walking Football As Sustainable Exercise for Older Adults – a Pilot Investigation
    European Journal of Sport Science Walking Football as sustainable exercise for older adults – a pilot investigation Journal: European Journal of Sports Science Manuscript ID TEJS-2016-0529.R2 Manuscript Type: Original Paper Keywords: Ageing, Cognition, Exercise, Health, Team Sport Page 1 of 19 European Journal of Sport Science Abstract The health benefits of playing football and the importance of exercise and social contact for healthy ageing are well established, but few older adults in the UK take enough exercise. Football is popular, flexible in format and draws players into engrossing, effortful and social exercise, but the physical demands of play at full speed may make it unsustainable for some older adults. Restricted to walking pace, will play still be engaging? Will health benefits be retained? Will physical demands remain manageable? This pilot study aims to investigate: 1) The experience of older adults playing walking football every week, is it sustainable and rewarding, 2) the intensity and locomotor pattern of walking football, 3) the scale and nature of walking football health benefits, 4) possible cognitive benefits of playing walking football through measures of processing speed, selective and divided attention and updating and inhibition components of executive function. ‘Walking football’ and ‘waiting list’ groups were compared before and after 12 weeks of one-hour per week football. Walking football was found to be engaging, sustainable for older adults and moderately intensive, however, selective health and cognitive benefits were not found from this brief intervention. Key words: Ageing. Cognition. Exercise. Health. Team Sport Introduction Over 10 million people in the UK are aged over 65 and this may double by 2050 (Cracknell, 2010).

  • Walking Football National Game Strategy 5 Year Plan 2019 – 2023 Walking Back to Happiness
    1 WALKING FOOTBALL NATIONAL GAME STRATEGY 5 YEAR PLAN 2019 – 2023 WALKING BACK TO HAPPINESS August 2018 www.thewfa.co.uk The Walking Football Association Ltd A not-for-profit company limited by guarantee. Company Registration no. 10479575 The National Governing Body for Walking Football in the UK 2 Background Walking Football was created as a unique sport by John Croot (Director of the WFA) in Chesterfield in 2011. The Walking Football Association (WFA) was established in 2016 as the National Governing Body in the UK. Through its many successful initiatives, it has achieved a position of pre-eminence within the sport. The WFA is a not-for-profit Company, staffed by over 30 passionate and committed volunteers. The sport is aimed at adults aged over 50 of both genders, but younger age groups are involved. It has grown organically largely “through word of mouth” with little national marketing. The sport is now played in over 1200 clubs/locations, with an estimated 40,000 regular players. Strategy This strategy is a plan of action designed to deliver the following 10 key objectives over a 5 year period: 1. To double the number of walking football players in the UK 2. To widen the appeal of the sport; specifically targeting new markets such as the disabled, women, long-term illness, obesity, lower-socio economic groups and non-footballers 3. To establish a national network of walking football centres 4. To establish a national network of WFA Leagues 5. To promote a single set of rules to be used by all, with the ethos of the sport fully implemented by WFA qualified referees trained through the WFA Referees Academy 6.
