  1. Referee analysis using GPS tracking and heart rate monitoring Declan Gamble Sport Physiologist Sports Institute NI / University of Ulster Ulster Council Coaching and Games Development Symposium 2004

  2. Why is fitness important for referees? • Intensity of the game is increasing • Keep up with play • Delay the onset of fatigue • Maintain concentration • Enhance performance • What training are referees currently doing? Ulster Council Coaching and Games Development Symposium 2004

  3. What type of fitness programmes do referees require? • What type of movements does a referee perform? • How much distance does a referee cover in a game? • How many times does a referee sprint in a game? Ulster Council Coaching and Games Development Symposium 2004

  19. GPSports Analysis Ulster Council Coaching and Games Development Symposium 2004

  20. Summary of results • The referee….. • Exercised at an average heart rate of ~ 164 bpm, • Covered a total distance of ~ 8.2 km, and • Performed ~ 80 sprints, lasting from 1-10 sec. Ulster Council Coaching and Games Development Symposium 2004

  21. What type of training/fitness programme? • Training programmes need to….. • Reflect the physical demands of refereeing, • and • Be specific to the movements patterns performed during games. Ulster Council Coaching and Games Development Symposium 2004

  22. How? • Refereeing games represents the best training stimulus for referees! • Alternatively, include; • ‘Fartlek’ running, • Intermittent shuttle running, or • Interval sets. Ulster Council Coaching and Games Development Symposium 2004

  23. Conclusion • Refereeing imposes significant physical demands on referees. • These physical demands are probably not being met by ‘traditional training’ practices. • Training programmes need to be designed to simulate the physical demands of games.
