Shakhtar youth team performed a Yo-Yo test to check their functional readiness
On Friday, June 27, the morning training session of Shakhtar youth team started with a yo-yo test to check the players’ fitness, and before that, the Orange-and-Blacks, together with the fitness coach, performed a series of activation exercises to approach the endurance test in proper condition.
The Yo-Yo test involves a 20-meter shuttle run with progressively increasing pace between audio signals. Anyone who fails to keep up or is unable to continue the work stops performing the test. Midfielder Vladyslav Tiutiunov was the most enduring this time.
Vladyslav Tiutiunov, midfielder of Shakhtar U19:
– For me, the Yo-Yo test is probably the hardest, so I am glad I was able to win, because a lot of guys were rooting against me, and I wanted to prove them wrong. I am very happy! I missed the team and the coaching staff, I am glad to be back to training. During the vacation, I managed to rest, although I did not forget about work, because the coaches provided a programme that I had to follow. I expect a lot of running work from the training camp, and I set myself only the highest tasks for the season – we want to become champions.
The highlights of the endurance test are available in the photo gallery.
