Football is the most popular sport in the world, in which it is shared with friends, family, and even strangers.
But it doesn’t just stop there. Like any sporting activity, football has various benefits that contribute to the physical, psychological, and social health of the people who practice it.
Physical benefits
- Strength, coordination and endurance:
For 90 minutes, the body remains active, performing various exercises that help build strength and resistance in the body, improving cardiovascular and even respiratory health.
- Muscle mass and bone structure:
The workouts contribute to the formation of muscle mass and the burning fat, which means a healthier body on a physical level. In addition, the constant practice of this sport strengthens and develops the bones and increases bone density.
Psychological and social benefits
- Anxiety, self-esteem and confidence:
The constant practice of a sport, as long as the person likes it, generates an increase in people’s confidence and self-esteem, since physical capacity increases and that produces feelings of pride and self-esteem. In addition, by increasing these aspects, anxiety, frustration and stress decrease.
- Teamwork and socialization:
Football, and most team sports, require a union and collaboration between different people. This encourages teamwork, cooperation, and socialization inside and outside of training.
