Football Yo-Yo Test Results
Here are some yo-yo test results of football (soccer) players. The scores have been taken from various sources online, and their accuracy cannot always be confirmed. Yo-Yo Test results from elite players are hard to come by as clubs and national teams are reluctant to release this information. Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal is rumored to have registered 75 (21.8), while Neymar of Brazil reportedly has reached 73 (21.6), though they are not necessarily expected to be the top performer in their teams.
