- Why do Liverpool’s fitness coaches incorporate movements like this into a drill? Looks funny, right? Likely because: 86% of sprints in the Premier League are curved. 62% of sprints in the Premier League include torso rotation (ie scanning for space, opponents).
00:00 - Interesting to see Liverpool switching from the Lactate Test to a 6-Minute Race Test (6MRT) to obtain the players’ max aerobic speed. - 6 minutes around a 400m race track - as fast as possible - distance covered is the marker Generally looking for somewhere between 1.5-2km.
00:00 - 37.51 km/h max speed, @kierantierney1Jack Wilshere: "We were doing a sprint test today and I asked the fitness guy ‘who is the fastest player, is it Aubameyang’ and he said ‘no it’s Kieran Tierney’ – it surprised me."
- In the Wolves squad, he's also 3rd for most sprint distance, 3rd for most sprints, and 2nd for % of his time spent sprinting (per 90). If you want explosiveness, Cunha gives it to you.Matheus Cunha is heading to Manchester United but Opta stats reveal he spent more time walking than any other Premier League player this season. 🤔🚶 #MUFC #BBCFootball
- James McClean finishing joint first in Wrexham’s pre-season YoYo Test at 35-years-old. Some athlete.
00:00 - Interesting to see Liverpool incorporating recovery sprint specific triggers in their MSG training games. In Amorim’s drill, the trigger is a coach’s whistle to simply sprint back into position. In Liverpool’s version, defenders must recover and stop a goal attempt.
00:00 - Some fresh ideas being introduced to Liverpool training under new Lead Physical Performance Coach, Ruben Peeters. Medicine balls being used here for resistance to develop power/explosiveness.
00:00 - Some interesting work being applied in Manchester Utd training already by Ruben Amorim and his staff. A tactical attack v defence drill, including a transitional element involving a 30-40m recovery run on a “ball is lost” trigger. Interesting given the research shows that
00:00 - Some might have noticed Alexander Isak being put through top-up runs after coming off at half-time last night. With his limited pre-season, Liverpool are building his load in a controlled way. Last night slowly built up his game minutes, but the half-time runs ensured he still
00:00 - Brentford made the preseason 1K Test infamous. 1000m (10 lengths of a pitch up and back) as fast as you can. The Premier League record is reportedly 2mins 57seconds. We asked one of our Marketing team could he beat it? He didn’t just beat it - he smashed it by 13seconds.
00:00 - Pochettino is a fan of the Gacon test in pre-season. 45:15 sec work/rest ratio. Mark out a distance of 125m. Run it inside 45 seconds. Add 6.25m extra on each run. Set times remain the same. Each athlete continues until they can’t meet the distance inside 45secs. 5000m 🔝
- More conditioning work from Wolves pre-season in Spain 🇪🇸 Full Pitch Tempos, working baseline to baseline in 20 seconds.
00:00 - Really nice football-specific conditioning drill from Juventus training. Run 36.5m to bounce-pass (6secs) Run 58m to finish cutback (10secs) Run 67m box to box recovery (12secs) Approximately 161m of HSR metres in one rep.
