Interesting to see Liverpool switching from the Lactate Test to a 6-Minute Race Test (6MRT) to obtain the players’ max aerobic speed.
- 6 minutes around a 400m race track
- as fast as possible
- distance covered is the marker
Generally looking for somewhere between 1.5-2km.

This caused a bit of controversy at the time, but to date, Everton rank second for most distance (1255km), sixth for most sprints (1,602), top the league for most individual player pressures (2,416), and have W3D1L1 in their last five league games

Anthony Elanga was the fastest forward in the Premier League last season with a max speed of 36.91 km/h.
That was a 7.7% increase on his previous season’s best of 34.27 km/h.
How does he get faster?
He sprints at max speed repeatedly, with sufficient rest between reps.

Liverpool’s Lactate Test.
Similar to the Gacon, it measures a player's aerobic endurance, with increasing distances/speeds at 5-6 intervals.
Blood is taken from the athlete’s ear at each interval. If they’re below the threshold, they continue.

86% of sprints in football are performed with a degree of curvature (Caldbeck, 2022). Therefore it makes sense to train this type of action.
From our Academy app, Serpentine Sprints are an ideal drill to use for curved sprinting, ideally over 30-50m.
