Chris Barnes, Head of Sports Science at the club, plays an important role in helping Boro’s players reach their full level of fitness. His responsibilities include monitoring and development of fitness and nutrition for players of all ages, although he works primarily with the first team squad.

We place great emphasis on the confidence we can take from information regarding body composition in a sport where players are required to cover between 30 and 50km during a normal training week. Our own evaluations of the Biospace InBody 720 machine show that it produces detailed, high quality data within minutes. The instrument has also been extremely useful in establishing reference and baseline data on our younger players (12-16yrs) in a non-invasive way.
