There are no magic tricks in football science, however the “Two-Headed Eagle” have managed to cut down considerably on the number of muscular injuries. In the current season, players’ availability reaches 99% -among the best percentages in European football.

The change was instigated last summer, when PAOK decided to upgrade their medical organization and services. They changed their medical team, hired new specialized professionals and bought more equipment. Nea Mesimvria isn’t just the place where trainings are held. Nowadays, PAOK FC Sports Centre features everything that professional players need to work on their physical condition.

Work started by compiling detailed charts of each player’s physical traits and special features through series of tests. Weekly trainings were adjusted accordingly and the medical staff also focused considerably on energetic recovery.
