The official start of the preseason hasn’t even begun but many northcarolinafc and thenccourage players have been training hard for months. Today they tested their aerobic capacity with the YoYo IR2 test...the same test the men’s team will use in the preseason to assess their conditioning. The test consists of 40m shuttle runs of increasingly faster speed with a 10 second rest period in between each run. Depending on the level and gender of player, we use the 30-15 test, YoYo IR1, YoYo IR2 or Beep test to assess aerobic conditioning of our soccer players. . Athletic Lab is the official training center of NCFC and the Courage along with the ncfc_youth Academy, ECNL and Elite teams. Athletic Lab’s mikeyoungphd serves as the Performance Director for both senior pro clubs and our other coaches help develop the fitness of the top players for the largest youth to pro soccer club in the US. . #futbol #soccer #ncfc #nccourage #nofinishline #ctid #fitness #soccerfitness #aerobic #running
