Barca (and pro futbol) daily player schedules?

[BerkeleyBernie]

Can anyone enlighten me as to how much time pro players are required to put in outside of games and travel? I assume players take responsibility for some part of their own fitness training, but what is a typical contractually mandated work week when there is one weekend game scheduled? How many team practices? How long? Content of those practices?

I'm sure each team/coach is different, so I'm curious about both Barca and any other teams anyone knows about.

typically they have 2 sessions per day for training except for days where they have matches from what i can recall.

most of these training sessions are focused on technical skills rather than strength as we are a team that emphasizes good first touch than anything (i remember henry standing on a barrel and he had to touch the ball once to divert it to other players)
