Leeds United report back for pre-season training on Monday morning with those who have not been involved in some level of international football the past few weeks, expected to report for the start of training. When we say training, it's become unusual these days for players to hit the training field and kick a ball in the opening couple of days of training.
Before reporting back to the training pitch to prepare for the new campaign, Leeds' players will go through a process commonly referred to as ‘pre-season testing’. But what’s involved and just what exactly goes on in the opening couple of days of pre-season?
The testing is a combination of performance-based tests and medical checks. The Whites' players will also go into a more clinical environment for the medical side of things – clubs often book out university facilities for this were there is more specific equipment to test.
