\(B\)

Show Worked Solution
  • B is correct: The yo-yo test measures aerobic power through intermittent high-intensity efforts with brief recovery periods, which mirrors the demands of soccer.

Other options:

  • A is incorrect: The yo-yo test doesn’t measure strength and involves intermittent rather than continuous effort.
  • C is incorrect: The yo-yo test measures aerobic capacity, not flexibility or movement quality.
  • D is incorrect: While the test includes sprinting, it primarily measures aerobic power with recovery periods, not pure anaerobic capacity.
