The performance parameters of the players of the seasons 2016\u201317 to 2018\u201319 were analyzed. The Yo-Yo IR test was compared to a Yo-Yo IR test with multiple multidirectional changes of direction in response to visual stimuli, which was conducted on a SpeedCourt (Yo-Yo SC IR). Peak oxygen uptake (VO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>peak)\u00a0and maximum heart rate (HR<jats:sub>max<\/jats:sub>) were measured. Between-methods differences of individual athletes were quantified with Bland\u2013Altman plots. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> HR<jats:sub>max<\/jats:sub> was not statistically different during the Yo-Yo SC IR test compared to the Yo-Yo IR test (181\u2009[10] vs 188\u2009[8]\u00a0beats\u00b7min<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.16).
