Exercises: Squats, wall ball drills with increasing repetitions, and plyometric exercises like box jumps. Technique: Emphasize maintaining a consistent rhythm and using the legs to drive the ball upward.
• Sandbag Lunges: With a time 1:23 slower than average, Alessandro should incorporate sandbag training into his routine. Exercises: Weighted lunges, sandbag carries, and Bulgarian split squats. Focus: Work on balance and core stability to ensure efficient movement.
• Burpees Broad Jump: Being 56 seconds slower than average, Alessandro can benefit from plyometric training and cardiovascular conditioning. Exercises: Burpee intervals, broad jump drills, and HIIT workouts. Technique: Practice transitioning from burpee to jump smoothly and efficiently.
• Sled Pull: This segment was 40 seconds slower than average. Strengthen the upper body and improve grip strength. Exercises: Deadlifts, rowing exercises, and grip strength drills. Technique: Focus on maintaining a low center of gravity and pulling steadily.

• Optimize Transitions: Work on minimizing time spent in the Roxzone by practicing quick gear changes and mental preparation for the next segment.
• Compromised Running Training: Incorporate running drills after strength exercises to simulate race fatigue and improve running efficiency under tired conditions.
• Focus on Strength Segments: Prioritize strength training in the weeks leading up to the race, particularly for segments like Wall Balls and Sandbag Lunges, to balance his strong running capabilities with improved strength performance.
