Lucozade #ConditionsZone - Active Communities Network

Tuesday 3rd June 2014 - Canary Wharf, London:

Active Communities Network were invited to take part in the launch of the Lucozade #ConditionsZone, a-state-of-the art football pitch with conditions set to replicate the weather in Brazil that England will face during their World Cup campaign this summer.

Active Communities Network coaches Ibrahim Kanu and Ade Akande took two teams of young people down to Canary Wharf where, after signing disclaimers, they were briefed by sports scientists who fitted them with stat vests to monitor how their bodies responded to the conditions.

Alan Shearer and Steve McManaman captained the two teams in a match which tested the players skills in 32 degree heat with 79% humidity.
