Project details
Dundee FC – Football Fans in Training (FFIT)
FFIT is a 13 week course run in partnership with the Scottish Professional Football League Trust. This project has been delivered across the country since 2010 and aims to encourage participants to make significant changes to their risk of poor health by losing weight, becoming more active and eating a healthier diet.
The community staff of Dundee FC have been trained to deliver this specific programme and they encourage participants to stay active and healthy whilst positively influencing the choices of participants’ wider family and friends. Each session lasts 90 minutes and is made up of interactive classroom work and physical activity. Time as a group leads to discussion stemming around lifestyle, barriers to change, diet and nutrition.
This is then followed by physical activity, with the intensity of this work increasing as the course goes on. Initial goals linked to step count will be set and continual review of these will be complete. This programme is organised at various points throughout the year for both mean and women and is fully tailored to individual client needs and requirements.
