A Los Angeles-based doctor that specializes in sports science says Erik ten Hag has risked injuring his Manchester United players by making them run 13.8km in the heat on their day off.<\/p>\n
Sportsmail reported how a furious Ten Hag made his team cover the exact distance which Brentford outran his side by when the Bees defeated United 4-0 in Saturday’s late game – the shock result of the Premier League weekend.<\/p>\n
The Dutchman scrapped the planned day off for the Red Devils in order to unleash his wrath on the team but according to Dr Rajpal Brar, he has risked doing more harm than good to his players.<\/p>\n
Responding to the reports at first on Twitter, Brar said: ‘If true, I’m assuming the sports science & physio staff intervened. That’s how you get players into the red zone and\/or injured.’<\/p>\n
The ‘red zone’ is when an athlete reaches 90-100 per cent of their maximum heart rate, meaning they are also at maximum effort and exertion.<\/p>\n
And later, speaking to Sportsmail, Dr Brar expanded on his thoughts: ‘In terms of rest\/recovery and injury risk – think of your body like a bucket.<\/p>\n
‘Activity adds water to the bucket whereas rest & recovery removes it. With the wrong balance of the two, the bucket will overflow (or on the other end, be bone dry which you also don’t want).<\/p>\n
