Abstract Purpose: This study aims to provide the
Algerian soccer trainers with a systematic method to
control and interpret the Algerian soccer’s progress.
Recommend by soccer studies based on new high-tech to
monitor intensity aimed at a competitive superiority of
soccer players. Performed based on direct relationship
VO
2
max, intensity and distance covered in elites match.
Methods: to esteem the weaknesses of elite Algerian
soccer. This controlled study focused on a yo-yo (IR1) test
as a reliable, valid predictor of high-intensity aerobic
capacity and VO
2
max athletes levels, which is able to
discriminate the differences between player’s post-games
and player’s ability levels. Investigated in this study as a
protocol to classify 59 male soccer players under 18 years,
labelled on their VO
2
max levels and their relationships
with body fat index studies. Results: All statistical
procedure results advance the players with high VO
2
max
levels up than 59 ml/kg/min, allows this category of players
to record a difference of 8.98% VO
2
max levels, 1160.86 m
of distance covered, -1,27% of BFP and -4,55 ml/ kg/min
of BMI higher compared to the other fewer categories
records. Conclusions: Our results approve the Yo-Yo
intermittent recovery level 1 (Yo-Yo IR1) test as a valid
and reliable test to monitor improvements or decrements of
soccer physiological and anthropometrical training concept
game demands. It can be concluded in this study as simple
and valid data to predict the excess of body fat index on the
request aerobic fitness claims for demanding soccer top
player profile.

1. Introduction
Nowadays, soccer coaches need all the information and
guidance for the success of their teams in training sessions
or competitions. Support within the formative feedback
able to provide valuable data collection and analysis to
interpret the samples physiological profiles [3]. Suggested
by the soccer studies through the use of appropriate data
tracking tools, such as power output measuring devices,
internal load unit measures, and the perception of effort,
heart rate, blood lactate, training impulses, and
time-motion analysis [31]. Investigated in this study using
the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test (IR1) to estimate the
ability of players to perform intense intermittent exercise
with a high rate of aerobic and anaerobic energy turnover
[17]. Extensively utilised in the literature to monitor the
sport-specific intermittent endurance capacity level and
training adaptations in soccer players [5]. Despite the fact
that the aerobic energy system is highly taxed, with mean
and peak heart rates of around 85 and 98% of maximal
values, requiring from top-class players a significant
energy intake during a week [1,33]. This study focused on
a yo-yo (IR1) test as a reliable, valid predictor of
high-intensity aerobic capacity and VO
2
max athletes’
levels [37]. Checked in this study, based on the aerobic
exercise intensity as a significant physiological athletic
performance body adaptation to raise aerobic improvement
[11,14,28,35,30]. Report by preventive body goals studies
in the improvements of high-intensity physical training [15]
that is more helpful than the moderate-intensity to reduce
the effects of body composition [19]. Targeted in this study
based on Yo-yo test VO
2
max data levels as a powerful
strategy to inspect the adequate fitness concomitant with
ideal body composition among our sample [36]. Admitted
in this study, as a valid tool for predicting the excess of
body weight on the request aerobic fitness profile through
soccer players [14,18,20,25,27,32].
