CRISTIANO RONALDO has discovered his “biological age” after undergoing specialist tests by a fitness tracking company.
At the age of 40, many would think that Ronaldo would have one eye on retirement before the rigours of football catch up to him.
However, the Al-Nassr ace has discovered he is physiologically 11 years younger following tests done by “Whoop”.
They are a technology company specialising in fitness trackers and health monitoring devices, for which Ronaldo is an ambassador.
Tests done by the company include measuring physiological data such as heart rate and heart rate variability which are then used to give users information about their effort, recovery and sleep.
Speaking on the Whoop podcast, the football icon revealed the results of tests he had done with them to discover his “biological age” compared to his real age.
