Cristiano Ronaldo has proven time and time again he's freak on the football field but maybe he's a medical freak as well.

The 33-year-old Portugal star reportedly showed in his medical with new team Juventus that he is as fit as a player 13 years younger.

According to the Sun, Ronaldo recorded just seven per cent body fat – with the average professional football player carrying between ten and 11 per cent.

There was reports during the World Cup that Ronaldo recorded the fastest speed of the tournament, topping 34km/h in Portugal's opening draw with Spain.

Juventus signed Ronaldo from Real Madrid last week for 112 million euros (US$131.5 million) — an Italian league record sum — and the world player of the year penned a four-year contract.
Some see it as an extravagant sum for a player who, although a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, is entering the latter stages of a glittering career.

At his first news conference as a Juventus player last Monday, Ronaldo insisted he was motivated by a new challenge and keen to step out of his comfort zone after nine years at Madrid.

"With all due respect, usually players of my age go to Qatar or China, so coming to such an outstanding club at this stage in my career makes me very happy," he said.

"I'm different from all the other players who think their career is over at my age. I want to show that I'm not like the others, I'm different. It's an emotional moment for me because I'm not 23, I'm 33.

"I'm not here on holiday," he added. "I want to mark the history of Juventus. I hope I can surprise everyone one last time and I'm very, very confident."
