Playing football to prevent chronic diseases - Prof. Krustrup

Invited Session "Team Sport & Health" at ECSS Malmö 2017 Playing football to prevent chronic diseases Krustrup, P. University of Copenhagen It is now well-known that physical training is a cornerstone in the prevention and treatment of lifestyle diseases and it has recently been concluded that sport participation reduces all-cause mortality by 20-40% (Khan et al. 2012). Over the last 6 years, we have published 70 scientific articles describing the activity profile, physiological demands, fitness effects and health benefits of recreational football for untrained individuals across the life span, documenting that small-sided football (3v3 to 7v7) has broad spectrum fitness and health effects for 6-80-year-old participants, as it combines elements of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), endurance training and strength training (Krustrup et al. 2010, 2013). Small-sided football played 3v3, 5v5 or 7v7 elicits high heart rates and involves multiple intense actions such as sprints, turns, jumps, tackles, dribbles and shots, independently of age, gender, fitness status, socio-economic status and prior experience (Randers et al. 2010), providing effective cardiovascular training with multiple effects on VO2max, heart structure and function, endothelial function, capillarisation, lipid profile and oxidative enzyme activity, as well as multiple favorable effects on muscle mass, muscle function, postural balance and bone mineralisation (Krustrup et al. 2010). Recently, we investigated the health effects of football for patient groups with hypertension, type 2 diabetes and prostate cancer. Just 3 months of football training, 2x1 hour/week, lowered systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 12/8, 8/8 and 11/9 mmHg, respectively, in three RCT’s, which is a more pronounced effect than usually seen after 3-6 months training interventions (Krustrup et al. 2013). Twice-weekly 45-60-min football sessions over 3 months was also shown to increase lean body mass, muscle strength and bone mass for elderly men with prostate cancer undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (Uth et al. 2014). These results and other recent results will be presented at ECSS in Malmø, altogether providing evidence that recreational football is an effective type of HIIT training that can improve fitness and serve as effective prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of noncommunicable diseases for individuals across the life span.
