IN PICTURES: Cobblers players return to Moulton for start of pre-season

Cobblers players were back at Moulton College on Monday and Tuesday for the start of pre-season training.

The players went through various tests at the University of Northampton – as explained by strength and conditioning coach Joe Power below – and now manager Chris Hogg has overseen his first few training sessions, with most of the squad in action.

Discussing what testing involved, Power said: "We are testing a mixture of different things. For example, we want to see the peak forces a player can reach on the bike, how players take off and land from jumps, things like that. We are testing their power, the explosive work, and looking at symmetry and looking for a-symmetry in the way a player jumps and lands.

"The data helps us work with players on injury prevention and it gives us base line data to work with of a player picks up an injury, we know the levels they need to return to. It is very scientific and we can measure the players through pre-season and through the week during the season, so the players peak at the right times on matchdays."
