The Football Fans in Training (FFIT) programme is a healthy living and weight loss programme that was carefully designed to appeal to men. It incorporates the latest scientific approaches to weight loss, physical activity and diet and taps the potential of professional football clubs to engage overweight and obese men in weight loss. It has been developed and successfully evaluated in a major research project led by the University of Glasgow.
