With Juventus continuing to work their way through a heavy fixture schedule, the club’s fitness staff took the opportunity to establish the players’ fitness levels through a series of tests conducted this morning in Vinovo.
These assessments, coordinated alongside the Mapei Research Center, monitor the Bianconeri’s muscular, aerobic and anaerobic qualities, along with their recovery ability.
Three different types of tests were taken: the Mignoni, CMJ and HIT. The first, which detects the build up of lactic acid, involved the players running for six minutes at 13.5km/h. The second, used to calculate muscle quality and strength, saw the squad carry out a number of jumps on a piezoelectric platform. The third and final assessment, conducted to monitor recovery ability, consisted of ten repetitions of 25 metre sprints.
Antonio Conte’s men are expected to focus on tactical preparations when they return to the training ground this afternoon.
