REVEALED, the science behind Erling Haaland's phenomenal success: From 任命する／導入するing a £50,000 cryochamber in his home to eating grass-fed beef hearts... how Man City's prolific 暗殺者 has 伸び（る）d an 辛勝する／優位 on his closest 競争相手s

• e-mail

He is the Norwegian goal machine who is 脅すing to break every 得点する／非難する／２０ing 記録，記録的な／記録する in England and has been compared to マイク Tyson in his 頂点（に達する）.

But there is more to Erling Haaland's footballing success than his Viking 遺産 and fearsome physique.?

The £375,000-a-week Manchester City striker ― who has 攻撃する，衝突する the 支援する of the 逮捕する 20 times in just 12 games, and is tipped to 追加する to his 一致する when the 国民s 直面する 競争相手s Liverpool on Sunday ― has followed a host of quirky health practices to give him an 辛勝する／優位 over his 競争相手s for years.

In 2020, the then 20-year-old told 地元の Norwegian マスコミ: 'I see this as 重要な to 改善するing 業績／成果 by even just a few 百分率s.?

'For me, it’s about the small things in the fight to get better day by day.?Every day 供給するs a new 適切な時期 to get even better. 基本的に, it’s a 事柄 of mentality.'

にもかかわらず already standing at 6ft 4in tall, Haaland is thought to still be growing and has put on 12kg of muscle in the last 15 months.

He 劇の 変形 can be credited to his work in the gym and bizarre diet, which 含むs offal such as beef heart and 肝臓, 同様に as 特に-filtered water.

The 今後, 述べるd as 存在 like a monster, also 支払う／賃金s special attention to his pre- and 地位，任命する-match fitness 政権, even 任命する／導入するing a £50,000 cryochamber in his house to help his 団体／死体 回復する. Cristiano Ronaldo has used 類似の 科学（工学）技術 to keep him in 頂点（に達する） fitness.

And Haaland, now 22, uses special techniques to 支配（する）／統制する his circadian rhythm ― the 24-hour cycle that 行為／法令／行動するs as the 団体／死体's 内部の clock ― 含むing wearing blue-light glasses to 減ずる the sleep-奪うing 影響s of 審査するs.?

Here, MailOnline breaks 負かす／撃墜する the science behind Erling Haaland's phenomenal success.

A special diet of cow hearts and 肝臓s for 最大限 栄養

チーム仲間s have 述べるd Haaland as 'eating like a 耐える' and it is not hard to see why, considering he 消費するs more than 6,000 calories a day ― around two-and-a-half times more than the 普通の／平均（する） man should have.

He gave an insight into his diet in the Norwegian 文書の?Haaland: The Big 決定／判定勝ち（する）, which followed his career before moving to Manchester City this summer.

Showing off 抱擁する chunks of heart and 肝臓 from his butcher to the camera, he said: 'You [other people] don't eat this, but I am 関心d with taking care of my 団体／死体.?

'I think eating 質 food that is as 地元の as possible is the most important. People say meat is bad for you but which? The meat you get at McDonald’s??

'Or the 地元の cow eating grass 権利 over there? I eat the heart and the 肝臓.'

Eating offal ― animal 組織／臓器s used for food ― has become いっそう少なく ありふれた in 最近の times but once formed a 核心 part of hunter-gatherer diet.

組織／臓器s like the heart and 肝臓 are often more nutrient-rich than the muscle that forms most 同時代の 削減（する）s of meat.

Heart is leaner than the 大多数 of steaks, minces and other parts of the cow, while still 存在 a rich source of muscle-building protein.

Dr Duane Mellor,?a dietitian at Aston 医療の School in Birmingham, told MailO nline: 'Offal is often overlooked as a food, it is high in protein which can be helpful for 持続するing muscle and 特に 修理 and 回復, which can be important for high 業績／成果 sport.?

'It tends to be higher in ビタミンs, with 肝臓 存在 high in アイロンをかける, ビタミンs B12, A and D. Heart is also high in アイロンをかける, but tends to be lower in saturated fat than 肝臓.'

City striker Haaland has 明らかにする／漏らすd his bizarre diet of heart and 肝臓 that has helped his game

Heart also has high 量s of zinc, which 与える／捧げるs to the 団体／死体's 免疫の system and metabolism working 適切に. This helps fight off 感染s and keep you in 形態／調整.?

Higher levels of アイロンをかける, folate and ビタミンs B2, B6, and B12 also all support the proper 機能（する）／行事 of the cardiovascular system.?

一方／合間, 肝臓's 特に high 量 of ビタミン A is important for 見通し, the 免疫の system, reproduction and growth and 開発.

In Haalan d's 事例／患者, this will be supporting his heart, 肺s and other 組織／臓器s to work at the highest level when under 圧力 in games.?

However, offal can also 含む／封じ込める higher levels of artery-clogging cholesterol than 正規の／正選手 meat and is not recommended to be eaten in 超過.

Dr Mellor 追加するd: 'It is also likely that 存在 able to choose grass fed meat, which tends to be a lot more expensive can be part of how he feels about his dietary choices which can 高める 業績／成果.

'Often in エリート sport, its the small 伸び（る）s linked to feeling 確信して about your diet and 決まりきった仕事s which can 改善する 業績／成果.?

'So, it is likely to be a combination of offal’s nutritional 質 along with how Haaland feels about the food and drink he uses to 持続する his amazing 業績／成果s.'

Using a £50,000 cryotherapy 議会, ice baths and yoga for 回復

Haaland's ice 冷静な／正味の finishing is also 補佐官d by his particular attention to his 団体／死体, having 任命する／導入するd a £50,000 cryochamber in his Chester mansion.?

The walk-in pod can reach 気温s of -200C (-328F) and 要求するs 保護の mitts to be worn when in use. It pumps liquid 窒素 into the 空気／公表する surrounding the cylinder to 冷静な／正味の the 団体／死体 and rehabilitate 団体／死体 tissue.?

The 議会 can only be used for a 最大限 of five minutes to 妨げる serious 危険s to health, 含むing hypothermia and frostbite.

Cryotherapy, which is also loved by the likes of Usain Bolt, is thought to help 減ずる inflammation and 傷害 swelling. For these 推論する／理由s, it relieves muscle 苦痛 and 高めるs 回復 times after games and training.

The 議会s also 上げる 血 循環／発行部数, 改善する the 免疫の system, 減少（する） 疲労，（軍の）雑役 and help 傷害s 傷をいやす／和解させる more 速く, 支持するs （人命などを）奪う，主張する.

But Dr Rajpul Brar, a sports scientist, physiotherapist and strength and 条件ing coach at 3CB 業績／成果 in Los Angeles, told MailOnline the 証拠 behind the 議会s 現在のs a mixed picture.

He said: 'The 研究 on cryotherapy 議会s is mixed in that it doesn't show 客観的な 利益s? ― like changes in physiological 過程s ― but more subjective data ― like questions on "do you feel better after it?", "do you think it helps you 回復する?" ―does tend to favour it.?

'It's also やめる 平易な to use because it's a quick 60- to 90-second 過程.'

On a わずかに いっそう少なく extreme 規模, Haaland 定期的に take ice baths after games and training to 達成する 類似の 利益s.

The baths are part of 正規の／正選手 practice for most 首相 League footballers and are also used to 緩和する sore muscles and aches.

But they 異なる from cryotherapy because their 影響 is more 的d on the 団体／死体's extremities, 反して cryotherapy 的s the 団体／死体's central nervous system 同様に.?

Dr Brar said: 'Ice baths are one of the most 井戸／弁護士席-研究d and longest used 回復 道具s, and arguably have the most valid data that supports their use, with physiological changes taking place that support 回復.?

'However, unlike the cryochamber, these are much more an acquired taste and you have to build up 寛容 やめる slowly.'

Haaland also 定期的に practices yoga as a means of keeping limber and stretching his muscles after they have been in use.

Yoga has been shown to 改善する 回復, 同様に as relax the 団体／死体 and mind.?

Dr Brar said: 'Yoga is what I'd call "active 回復" and the 原則 of active 回復 is 支援するd by the science in using gentle, 平易な movement to 補佐官 with 回復.?

'Assuming Haaland isn't doing 激しい yoga 開会／開廷／会期s, it can certainly 落ちる within that 部類 and 一方／合間 can also create a very relaxed 明言する／公表する of the nervous system that can bias に向かって 緩和 and 回復.'

He 追加するd: 'The first thing to 公式文書，認める is that these items ― cryochambers, which City 現実に have 任命する／導入するd in their training 施設 [同様に], ice baths, doing yoga ― are 利用できる to all エリート 競技者s.?

'What really 始める，決めるs someone like Haaland apart is his かかわり合い to doing it 終始一貫して and having a 計画（する） around it.'

Wearing special glasses at night, doing meditation and waking up with sunlight for circadian rhythm

And it's not just what he does when he's awake that Haaland 支払う／賃金s attention to when it comes to 回復.

The former Borussia Dortmund 星／主役にする follows a host of practices to 支配（する）／統制する his circadian rhythm ― the 団体／死体's 内部の clock that 影響（力）s the sleep-wake cycle.

However, rather than sleeping in to maximise 残り／休憩（する） time in the morning, Haaland wakes up 早期に to soak up the morning light.

He said: 'The first thing I do in the morning is to get some sunlight in my 注目する，もくろむs, it is good for circadian rhythm.'

This has an important 影響 on the 団体／死体, training it to wake up earlier the next day and sleep better.

Professor Russell Foster, a neuroscientist at the University of Oxford and one of the world's most renowned 専門家s on circadian rhythms, told MailOnline: 'Light is 批判的に important for setting the 団体／死体 clock.

'Morning light helps you get up earlier, while evening light trains the 団体／死体 to wake up later. Haaland will be playing evening games under flood lights, which would keep him up at night.

'By getting the morning light he is in a sense resetting the clock.'

Haaland also meditates daily as part of his 決まりきった仕事, and has taken to celebrating his goals by 提起する／ポーズをとるing with his 脚s crossed, 注目する，もくろむs の近くにd and 手渡すs either 味方する of 膝s.

He told?Esporte Interativo: 'I like to meditate.?It's been helping me a lot to meditate and find an inner peace, so it's been good for me.

'It makes me feel 静める and gives me tranquility. This is why I いつかs celebrate like that when I 得点する／非難する／２０.'

Meditating or practicing other mindfulness techniques in the evening are also important for putting the 団体／死体 into sleep 方式.?

Professor Foster said: 'That is really important. It's one of the best things you can do at the end of the day.'

Haaland also wears blue light glasses at night to 封鎖する out the rays from electronic 装置s that can keep us awake.

In an interview with Red Bull, he said: 'We are always trying to do e verything better and are looking for things that help me and can make me even better.?

'[My friend] Alexander advised me to wear glasses in an evening that filter blue light out from television and 動きやすい phones.?

'That has a 肯定的な 衝撃 on the sleep hormone melatonin ― which helps me to sleep better and my 団体／死体 to 回復する better.'

But the science is わずかに いっそう少なく （疑いを）晴らす on how 効果的な this is is.

Professor Foster said: 'Blue light is a little bit more 複雑にするd. The 研究 示唆するs sensors in the 注目する，もくろむ are more 極度の慎重さを要する to blue light and this can 影響する／感情 your rhythm.

'However, the 量 of blue light you are going to get in the evening ― looking at a laptop, a Kindle or television ― is not high enough to have a very large 影響.?

'So while the science on blue light is （疑いを）晴らす, more 研究 is needed in how 効果的な wearing the glasses 現実に is.'
