Dear followers,
As we have mentioned in previous posts, football referees are very complete a sporting level because they are as athletes as football players themselves. Therefore for them to develop their careers as referees and make this a job with a future projection. They need to do tests physical and medical, to check that they are in a good shape. Therefore, the following document will show the physical tests that this group must do to try in some cases remain in the category or in other cases to try to improve and have opportunities to move to other categories.

1. Introduction
As we have mentioned in previous posts, football referees are very complete a
sporting level because they are as athletes as football players themselves. Therefore for
them to develop their careers as referees and make this a job with a future projection.
They need to do tests physical and medical, to check that they are in a good shape.
Therefore, the following document will show the physical tests that this group
must do to try in some cases remain in the category or in other cases to try to improve
and have opportunities to move to other categories and be able to charge a higher salary.
2. Purpose of physical tests
As we will see through this analysis, a referee must pass a series of physical
tests to lead a match. The aim of these will be achieve and maintain a state of optimal
way to challenge every game.
Therefore, performing the following tests, we hope that the arbitration group are
evaluated more in line with the requirements of the game, particularly emphasizing
speed changes and the ability to perform high intensity sprints way.
Also, we will use this manual with physical evidence in order that the referees
make progress in each of them, being a motivating to further improve the physical
training.

3. Physical tests
Test 6 x 40 metres with 1' 30'' recovery
The first test involves a physical test that evaluates the velocity resistance , it is
the capacity to perform fast and repeated over a football match displacements.
Must perform 6 accelerations of 40 meters, with 1'30'' recovery after each
acceleration. The test will begin with the referee standing above a line that is 1.5 meters
from the exit point.

Test 2000 metres
With this second test , examiners intended to identify and determine the degree
of development of aerobic power of a football referee , which means the capacity to
maintain a certain intensity efforts during the course of a football match .
This test is performed on a running track, which has 400 meters, so that the
referees to complete this test should perform five laps. All Referees should do it in the
shortest time possible, in order to improve their brand and have the best time.

Field test for football referees
The following test assesses the referee lactic anaerobic endurance, besides being
the most specific for this group for shift, type of effort and where it is performed.
Within a square delimited by cones 50 x 50 metres, the referee must run a
diagonal front side and then 50 metres of career changing the orientation. Then makes
another diagonal frontally and ends the test with a 50 metres of career back

Field test for assistant referees
This test, in the same way as above, it measures the lactic anaerobic capacity,
but in this case the assistant referees. Likewise, it also consists of 4 parts, using the
diagonal to recover.
This test is performed on a square of 25 x 25 meters marked by cones. First a
take place a front race of 25 metres by a side of the square. Then an inner and outer race
25m is performed. The test with a back race of 25 meter also is continued, ending with a
diagonal front career.
