Check out the many benefits of playing 5-a-side, with thanks to the guys at www.5-a-side.com, doing stellar work for the sport.
Whether you play it for the love of the game, to get fit, to socialise with friends – or maybe a mix of all three – 5-a-side is arguably the best form of exercise that you can do.
It provides an intense workout that few other sports can match, results in loads of social and mental benefits, and most of all it’s fun. That’s why it has become the people’s game here in the UK, becoming even more popular than the full 11-a-side game.
Just look at the evidence
A lot of work has recently been done to prove the health benefits of 5-a-side, and it has been shown that regardless of your age, gender or playing standard, it’s very hard to find a better overall form of exercise than 5-a-side.
The data out there is overwhelming, but we’ve condensed it down into this handy infographic to tell you everything you need to know about the greatest game on earth. (Click on the image to view a larger version on mobile devices).
