Abstract
The benefits of an active life – such as improved mental health and lowered risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and some cancers – are well known amongst sports and exercise medicine professionals. But in the broader population, not everyone is able to realise these benefits. As part of this year’s joint BASEM/FSEM conference in Liverpool, delegates had a lively discussion about how professional football (and other sporting) clubs can help to get the population moving more. This article offers a summary and some reflections on the discussion.
