What has Pintus said about the Real Madrid squad's use of masks?
Pintus has explained how the unique fitness test works in an interview with Real Madrid TV, saying: "The test is carried out using a mask with a layer 5 system. It is certainly not hypoxia training. It's a test designed to find out the players' aerobic and anaerobic thresholds and their current power.
"The mask works to analyse oxygen and carbohydrates. We need to know the percentage of one and the other in order to determine the player's condition at the moment."
What is Pintus' training plan for Real Madrid ahead of the World Cup?
The 2022-23 campaign will be unique in its own way due to the FIFA World Cup that is set to start on November 21, 2022. Real Madrid have around 15 players who might head to Qatar for the marquee event, with the remainder of the squad set to continue to train at Valdebebas.
Pintus has devised separate training plans as the two sets of players will require a significantly different conditioning approach from each other.
"The break in training in November due to the World Cup will be good for me because we can do another pre-season and work a little bit more for the players who stay behind," he said. "It will be different for the players who're going to the World Cup.
"They'll have to rest one hundred per cent when they come back and then return to work gradually. It's going to be completely different for the two groups."

Pictures say a thousand words. This picture says a lot of how serious the players are taking Foletti. Just look at the body posture of the players.
When you Google Reals pintus or Bayern's broich you see images of them jogging around with players. I've never see Foletti jog two meters. Fitness coaches lead by example. Only players that actually taking Foletti serious is Milik, Bremer and Bonucci.
