Dr Andy Galbraith, James Hogg, Samuel Smith, William Gowers, Laura McPherson and Emma Mundy ran the testing over 2 days in late June. The tests used included a VO2max test measuring the players’ aerobic capacity and a lactate profile test to help predict performance and monitor the players’ training improvement. In addition to these tests our team used a specialised isokinetic dynamometer to measure maximal force of the players’ hamstrings and quadriceps muscles.
