Abstract :The objectives of the current study were twofold : a); to determine the relationship between performance in the Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test level 1  insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(YIRT1);, 20-m multi-stage shuttle run test insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MST); with measured maximal oxygen uptake insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(VO 2 max); in Treadmill test insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TRT);, b); to examine the differences in heart rate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HR); responses to the YIRT, MST and treadmill tests insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TRT); in young soccer players. Thirteen amateur soccer players insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( mean age: 15.38±0.51, mean height: 177.38±5.53cm, body mass 69.36± 5.48kg, VO2max 60.22 ± 1.47 ml/kg/min); volunteered for the study. Comparisons were made using ANOVA and the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r); was used to determine the relationship between the players’ performance and VO 2max . There was no differences found among the HR max values of YIRT, MST and TRT. There was found significant correlation between  VO 2max and both YIRT and MST performance respectively insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r=.89 and r= 78); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. Both MST ant YIRT could be used to determine HR max of soccer players and also MST and YIRT have strong relationship with VO 2max , thus they may also be used in order to assessment of soccer player’s endurance performance as field-based test.
