Health and fitness for the female
football player
Women's football is allegedly the fastest
growing sport on the planet. The FIFA Women's World Cup China
2007 was therefore an ideal occasion to provide players with a
personal health guide for the beautiful game.
The myths and
prejudices surrounding women playing football are manifold, as
are the risks and benefits for the health of female players.
Unfortunately, objective data on these issues are still
scarce, as most of the research is carried out on men.
Consequently, most of the scientific advances in the women's
game so far have been based on research directed at men.
The FIFA Medical Assessment and Research Centre (F-MARC)
therefore decided to review and summaries current scientific
knowledge on the health issues concerning women players. To
review their findings click here. For
the full pdf copy of the study click
here.
Date to
Remember: Saturday June 20th
 For the 3rd
consecutive year CBC will host "Soccer Day in Canada" (SDIC).
The all day coverage on June 20th celebrates the
beautiful game and provides a snapshot of the
sport's growing popularity in Canada from soccer pitches
across the country. Featured coverage includes updates
from the 4th Annual More Sports World Mini Soccer Jam in
Vancouver, BC. For more information on Soccer Day in Canada,
