‘FIT FANS is the operating name in England and Wales for Football Fans in Training, which was created in a Scotland by the University of Glasgow and the Scottish Professional Football League Trust’.
The development and optimisation of the Football Fans in training programme was undertaken by a research team led by Glasgow University in partnership with SPFL Trust. We gratefully acknowledge some source material from the Nutrition and Dietetic Department, NHS Forth Valley and Men’s Health Clinic, Camerlon, Falkirk. The programme development is described in Gray et al (2013), the results of the programme evaluation are reported in Wyke et al (2015) and Hunt et al (2014).
EFL in the Community is thrilled to be working with the Football Association of Wales and the Welsh Government to bring FIT FANS to football communities across the country.”
