As in many countries, a date has not yet been fixed for the restart of the championship, but at Barcelona camp they have already built a protocol on the issue, once the Government gives approval to begin the phase of the return of sports events, in accordance with the League and the federation.
According to what the Spanish daily suggests ASU, football players will undergo five ways of control: start with a personal conversation, then start a series of metabolic tests and coronary tests. The last two steps to obtain approval for the resumption are the ongoing spring and resistance test.
The middle and the others will arrive at the exercise, on the first day, individually and will be placed in club structures, under a programme set earlier, but that they will receive from the delegate only a few days before departure.
The first contact with the footballer will be a personal conversation with him, attended by a member of the medical service and an athletic host.
After the conversation, each footballer will have a measurement of his physical condition: the body fat index will be the first concrete assessment of the effects the stop has had on the body.
The footballer will also conduct a test of metabolism (MAS-ASR), but crucial will be the coronary test of antibodies. These modes of control will be conducted periodically and systematically during the rest of the season, both for players and team staff.
After these three steps, the footballer will undergo a running test that continues on, and in the end, a resistance test will be conducted, with dynamic and izometric work.
