We are proud to share the official channel of the Udinese Calcio Performance Department. Follow us to gain insight into our daily performance operations, cutting-edge monitoring strategies, rehabilitation , and how we optimize player availability

🩸 BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION (BFR)
Can we stimulate muscle adaptations with low mechanical loads?
BFR combines low-load resistance exercise (20–30% 1RM) with partial restriction of venous return,increasing metabolic stress and providing a stimulus for muscle hypertrophy & strength
Return to Performance ⚽️
Adductor longus rehab in a centre-back: beyond isolated strength.
🔹 Injury-mechanism replication
🔹 Strength manifestations
🔹 Duels & defensive actions
🔹 Playful tasks socio-affective
Restore capacity. Rebuild football actions. Prepare to compete.
HAMSTRING REHAB | From RTP to performance ⚽️
🔹 Iterative method: striker-specific actions (Solé, 2003).
🔹 Running mechanics: low-hurdle step frequency + 30 m accelerations at 85–90% MSS (Mendiguchia).
🔹 Top-up:11–20 s box-to-box HSR, intermittent running (Buchheit & Laursen).

ISOMETRIC STIMULUS IN EARLY ADDUCTOR REHAB ⚽️
Early rehab ≠ avoiding load.
Isometrics provide a controlled way to introduce strength stimulus, monitor symptoms and progressively increase load tolerance.
Build capacity. Control pain. Optimise recovery.

Eccentric strength → deceleration → 90° COD.Flywheel develops eccentric force capacity. Linear + rotational decel exposes the athlete to the braking/ reorientation demands of football. Finally, 90° COD slam ball adds a plyometric/reactive component:
Brake → control → redirect

LIVE GPS MONITORING 📡⚽️
Live GPS allows us adapt exposure in real time according to player’s profile,previous load,max velocity, rehab stage.
📌GPS becomes a decision-support tool, not just a reporting system.
🔑Individualisation+live monitoring =better decisions. – at Udine, Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Rehab is not only about physical recovery⚽️😆
Social interaction, motivation, confidence and emotional responses matter.
Working with 2 players allows us to use collaboration, challenges and controlled competition to make rehab more engaging and closer to the demands of sport – at Udine, Friuli-Venezia Giulia
FOOT CORE × RETURN TO PLAY ⚽️
In a 4th metatarsal rehab, the goal isn’t simply to wait for healing. It’s to progressively rebuild the foot’s capacity to: Absorb, Stabilize & Produce force. The key is progressive mechanical exposure + load management.
Jaffri et al.,(2023) – at Udine, Friuli-Venezia Giulia
CMJ at MD-1 ⚽️📊
The goal isn’t to achieve the highest jump 24h before competition.
It’s to understand the player’s neuromuscular status relative to their individual baseline and recent trend.

Performance isn’t about training harder after a match.
It’s about knowing who should train, how much and when.

🚀 Speed starts with horizontal force.
Resisted sprints + sled pushes can help:
✅ Improve acceleration
✅ Increase horizontal force production
✅ Enhance RFD
✅ Optimize sprint mechanics
✅ Reach top speed sooner
Train force where performance happens: horizontally.
