Kylian Mbappé Joins Real Madrid Training with Innovative Mask Technology
In an exciting development for Real Madrid fans, Kylian Mbappé participated in a rigorous training session at the Valdebebas training center on Wednesday morning. The star player, along with his teammates, donned a unique blue mask known as the Cosmad K5, designed to monitor their fitness levels. Unlike his previous use of a mask during Euro 2024 for protection, this mask serves a crucial purpose in assessing the players' oxygen intake and carbon dioxide output during high-intensity exercises.
Antonio Pintos, Real Madrid's renowned physical coach, explained that this testing is a seasonal routine aimed at evaluating players' fitness. “The mask is used to measure the oxygen that reaches the lungs, and the carbon dioxide that is exhaled,” Pintos stated. This assessment helps determine whether players need more training on long distances, short distances, or if they are performing adequately. Although the players find the tests challenging, they are essential for tailoring training regimens to optimize performance throughout the demanding season ahead.
Real Madrid is gearing up for a busy season with over 70 matches planned across various competitions. Fans are particularly eager for Mbappé's debut at the Bernabeu this Sunday against Real Valladolid, marking a significant moment in his career and a new chapter for the club.
