Three days of work, then a weekend of rest. ErmGroup Altotevere’s initial week has been a “short” one, focusing on preparation for the upcoming Credem Banca Serie A3 championship, alternating between the San Giustino sports hall in the morning and the Pampaloni sports center in Fighille di Citerna in the afternoon. Gym and weights, then athletics, beach volleyball court, and swimming pool: all under the direction of assistant coach Mirko Monaldi, who has been entrusted with the group’s training during this period, awaiting a full-time restart on Monday, September 1st. “These were three days of preparation,” Monaldi said, “aimed at restoring optimal physical condition. We began working on the metabolic systems of the workout, eliminating some toxins; we also worked dynamically in preparation and, especially for me, on the aerobic and anaerobic aspects and all the metabolic systems of the body. We also gradually got closer to the ball with a few touches, doing preventive exercises on the athletic field, on the sand, and in the water.”
