Super_Ally 0 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Jack Ross' blog from the BBC talking about the impact of Sports Science and new techniques on player preparation. The strength and conditioning work was carried out alongside a regular testing programme where our body fats were monitored during 30 metre sprint tests, vertical jump tests and a "yo-yo" stamina exercise. Though the spints he completed at Falkirk were 20m and body fat percentage was one part of their testing programme but not monitored during the other tests. I think maybe the website editor has fucked up the quoted paragraph. The yo-yo stamina exercise is a modification of the bleep test which is more relevant to football, whereby there is a slight "rest period" between each shuttle where the player walks around a cone 5m away. A bleep test is constant whereby the stop start nature of the Yo-Yo intermittent endurance test more accurately reflects movement patterns in football. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
