Walking football exercise program
Participants will be organized in two teams of 20 players. Each team will have 60-min walking football exercise sessions three times per week (non-consecutive days), during three months (36 sessions). Different walking football exercise strategies will be developed according to participants' motor skills and tested with dose-escalated intensity for its safety and enjoyment. Exercise intensity will range between light to vigorous. No submaximal or maximal exercises will be tested. Exercise sessions will be conducted on a sports hall (indoor court) by a football coach and supervised by an exercise physiologist and a nurse.
