Seedorf's age-defying physiology was perhaps aided by the daily six-minute health checks Demichelis introduced, as part of his role as the club's scientific coordinator. Combining GPS data with physiological measurements such as heart rate variability, the checks were used to develop a 'risk scoring' system. By monitoring changes to a player's score against a baseline, Demichelis was able to indicate potential susceptibility to injury and proactively apply treatment.
