A health gadget endorsed by Cristiano Ronaldo has been adopted by Paris Saint-Germain to give the squad a performance boost ahead of their UEFA Champions League semi-final. The French champions have announced a partnership with health and fitness wearable brand WHOOP , which will deliver cutting-edge performance science to both PSG's men's and women's squads. Running until 2029, the agreement will place PSG at the forefront of sporting innovation, enabling players and staff to make well-informed decisions regarding their health and wellbeing based on scientific data. WHOOP's wearable devices rival the likes of Google Fitbit and Samsung Galaxy , delivering a comprehensive range of health and fitness insights through its screen-free device and membership programme. The device is already favoured by a host of footballers and athletes, including Liverpool skipper Virgil van Dijk, Masters champion Rory McIlroy and Ronaldo himself. In a clip featured on WHOOP's website , the former Manchester United star revealed he uses the device 'every single day'. "I use it every day, every single day," Ronaldo said. "It's a good tool to help your health." WHOOP provides round-the-clock intelligent guidance across sleep, recovery, strain, fitness and longevity, encompassing features such as blood pressure monitoring and Advanced Labs blood biomarker analysis. According to research carried out by WHOOP, those who wear the device daily clock up more than 90 additional minutes of exercise each week, reports the Express .

The reigning European champions will welcome the German side to the Parc des Princes on April 28, before travelling to Munich for the return leg on May 6. The agreement will grant PSG players access to WHOOP's cutting-edge wearable technology , delivering health insights across key physiological metrics including heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), sleep, strain and stress. These insights will be translated into personalised recommendations aimed at optimising training, recovery and overall performance during their pivotal end-of-season fixtures.
