As Cristiano Ronaldo prepares for his 41st birthday, health technology firm WHOOP has released his 2025 fitness report, revealing a biological age of just 28 years. Despite his chronological age, the Portuguese icon’s body performs 12 years younger, a feat attributed to his elite VO2 max and intensive strength training. In 2025 alone, Ronaldo recorded over 501 unique activities, including football, padel, and functional fitness, with his matches averaging 91 minutes at a remarkably efficient heart rate of 122 bpm.

Ronaldo’s longevity is anchored by a rigorous recovery and nutritional regimen. His daily habits prioritize protein-rich diets (meat and fish), essential supplements like fish oil and Vitamin B12, and advanced recovery techniques such as cryotherapy and infrared saunas. According to the data, his top recovery boosters are caffeine, meditation, and consistent, high-quality sleep. By maintaining a resting heart rate of 44 bpm, Ronaldo has optimized his physical state to match an athlete in their late twenties, fueling his bold ambition to continue playing professionally well into his mid-forties.
