20 - Dani Olmo

[DonAK]

Surely they do all that in a medical.

Why wait?

If it's the tech the NFL just recently started using then maybe all of it wasn't detected with the previous methods.

What is being reported now is what was reported they did with Pedri last summer.

I really hope this works out. Julio Tous did incredible job with Pedri and if he can do it with Olmo as well, then hats off; we're blessed with the guy.

Fully fit Olmo is an insane player. He makes us better everytime he plays. I really wish he was less injury prone.

Assume it's leg strength symmetry stuff where they check for muscle mass difference between both legs which can lead to more hamstring injuries.

Some athletes have shown to have a 15-20% difference in muscle mass between both legs when you ideally want it to be less than 10%. Maybe that's the case with Olmo. I know they've done an extensive study with funding on it in the States.

Do you have sources for this? Asymmetry as a cause for injuries has generally held poorly up lately compared to how important it used to be considered in the physio world

 

[HanDW]

Unironically should be saved for the Copa + UCL games till end of season. Let Fermín deal with Laliga.

One example of it from the NFL is a Green Bay Packers player who was sent to University of Wisconsin-Madison whose researchers have gotten grants by the NFL and have tested a lot of athletes from college and pro sports in their studies.

How Packers' Christian Watson is solving his nagging hamstring issues

Offseason testing found the root cause, and the Packers hope Watson will stay healthy and up his game in 2024.

As for the published studies itself I'll try to find it again.

Perhaps something similar have been done for Pedri and Olmo, but Spanish media have said it's genetic studies done for them to find a specialized training plan among other things.

siu

 

[MonteCuler]

What a playerr

 

[wisconsincule]

He stays healthy and we are cooking

 

[jamrock]

Clutch goal.

WE weren't going to score unless he came on

 

[JamDav1982]

Class in a glass.

So far ahead of Gavi and Fermin it is ridiculous.

 

[te amo barca]

Glass cannon

Silky on the ball, on par with Lamine/Pedri level.

 

[mc_lovin]

Would be nice if he stays fit now. Raph, Olmo and Frenkie should be the corner stones of the team given their age.

 

[KingLeo10]

He just has the clutch gene.

 

[JamDav1982]

He just has the clutch gene.

Unfirtunatly right next to the injury gene... possibly or not according to the study.
