- 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 - 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
