Hockey players have much higher Yo-Yo Test score than Indian cricketers

 

In cricket if anyone is scoring 19 or 20 on the Yo-Yo Test, people call it the fittest, whereas Sreejesh, who is a goalkeeper, scores 21 in the test."

Hardik said that Indian men's hockey team players score around 23 in their Yo-Yo Test, whereas Indian cricket players, who are considered the fittest, score around 17-18 in such tests. Hardik, further explaining about the test, said that the main level starts from 15, there are 8 sprints and it goes on like that till 23.8. He also added that the hockey team has seven players who have achieved 23.8.

The midfielder also mentioned that the test score of the junior girls (hockey team) is 17-18, and that his team’s average Yo-Yo Test is 22-23.

 

If you see this earlier article LINK, our women's team had 4 players hitting 21.1 (lowest 17.7), which even Aus, Eng, NZ male cricketers fail to match. And Indian women's hockey team is criticized for poor fitness !!!!

All this brouhaha about Kohli being a fitness icon, changing fitness culture in India, when even our women athletes from sports like hockey, boxing, wrestling wipe the floor with every single Indian cricketer in history.

 

Hilarious reading, our top scorers like Pandya, Pandey with record 19 score won't be able to compete with hockey juniors.

They are two different sports.Hockey players run a lot, Kohli changed the fitness aspect in Indian cricket.

 

Aussie footy players are lot fitter and stronger than Aussie cricketers.

Different sports have different fitness requirements\standards..all that matters is one should be fit for the particular sport he or she is playing..
