With the start of training camp just days away, the Miami Heat collectively got back to work at the AmericanAirlines Arena on Wednesday and began a series of conditioning tests.
The entire team, with the apparent nickname "The Goonies" bestowed on them, posed together wearing face masks that help simulate tougher conditions by mimicking high-altidude training as part of their conditioning tests. Several claimed benefits of wearing the masks include increased lung capacity, physical stamina, and oxygen efficiency.
Dwyane Wade, who was spotted wearing the same mask earlier in the year while rehabbing an injury, was one of several players that were active on social media later in the day posting pictures.
