Leicester: Insight into modern Premier League pre-seasons
By Akash Roy
Sports and Science going hand in hand
Over the upcoming weeks, the training sessions will be rigorous and straining. Every player trains hard to develop their strength, speed, and agility in their exercise modules. Players are monitored individually in terms of their data outputs.
The oxygen levels of the players at different intervals of the training sessions will be vital in analyzing and predicting some parameters that will help processing the collected data to predict the player’s expected performances.
Mapping data and machine learning are both used in a fashion that has become inseparable in modern training approaches. Several risk assessments could be achieved by the sports science team that can be vital and helpful.
Cardiovascular conditioning is crucial for the players who will be instrumental for the team over the season. The efficacy of the methods is undeniable. Injuries can be foreshadowed if sports science’s aid gets enough to say.
In the next two immediate weeks, the team will be playing five-a-side matches for developing their physicality. Sprint exercises will be regular to test out their maximum threshold capacity. Strength positively impacts speed and builds up resilience to injuries as optimal conditioning levels are warranted.
Leicester City’s upcoming challenges
The training of the first team will become crispier and far more concise this year. The competitive season resumes for the King Power club a bit earlier than usual. Leicester City will challenge Manchester City for the FA Community Shield at Wembley on 7th August.
The upcoming matches in the coming weeks will be testing the waters before going full throttle for the season. The Foxes will be traveling to two of their away fixtures of the pre-season against Wycombe and QPR before hosting the Europa League champions Villareal at the King Power stadium.
The European champions will face the FA Cup champions in an exciting matchup which will be a much more intense game because it will be Leicester City’s last game before taking on Pep Guardiola’s side.

Yesterday’s loss was just a hurdle to the team’s path as they looked disoriented against a better-gelled side. The East Midlanders need to find their mojo quickly in the upcoming games to establish themselves as a legitimate threat early on into the coming season.
