It’s been winter here for 4 days. No kidding we’ve had constant drizzle and grey skies for days. It sucks. About to change though

Thanks Easty. Although I’m a little disappointed you didn’t give me a summary to further enable my laziness

From the article: https://www.scienceforsport.com/maxi...bic-speed-mas/


Summary

Maximal aerobic speed (MAS) is simply the lowest running speed at which maximum oxygen uptake (V02 max) occurs, and is typically referred to as the velocity at V02 max (vV02 max). MAS was developed for the purpose of increasing the specificity of training and to enable coaches to monitor training loads more accurately. There are many tests which can be used to measure an athlete’s MAS, but for many, “corrective” equations must be used to accurately determine their MAS. Coaches need to understand the differences between these common aerobic tests and the corrective equations if they are to accurately measure MAS and prescribe training based on this information.

Three players to train with Bulldogs

The Western Bulldogs have been granted permission for three additional players to train with the AFL squad when they return in 2021.

Footscray’s 2019 best and fairest, Anthony Scott, is one of those players, alongside father-son prospect Ewan Macpherson and Eastern Ranges product Corey Preston.

Scott, a goal-kicking midfielder, had been elevated to the vice-captaincy at Footscray for 2020 before the season was called off due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Macpherson, an 18-year-old small defender from the Northern Knights, is the son of 188-game Bulldog Steve and younger brother of Gold Coast Sun, Darcy. Preston is an 18-year-old small forward from Ferntree Gully.

The Bulldogs are one of seven clubs to take on train-on players as part of the AFL Pre-Season Supplemental Selection Period (SSP).


With the retirement of forward Sam Lloyd, the Bulldogs could elect to add a player to their list for 2021. Players who suffer season-ending injuries can also be replaced, if they are added to the inactive list.


Players can be signed as part of the SSP between Wednesday 6 January and Tuesday 9 March.

This makes me very happy. With some fitness behind him he can make a big impact for us.
