Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine yo-yo intermittent recovery test (Yo-Yo
test) and 12-minute run test (12MRT) performances in experienced soccer
referees of different competitive levels. Three groups (n = 14 each) of
experienced Italian soccer referees officiating in the first (series AB, top
-level), third (series C, medium-level), and fourth (series D, low-level)
division, were randomly submitted to the 12MRT and the Yo-Yo test during 2
testing sessions, 48-hours apart. 12MRT performances were 3,000 +/- 112 m; 2
,894 +/- 99 m; and 2,896 +/- 171 m for top-level, medium-level and low-level
referees, respectively (p > 0.05). In the Yo-Yo test, the top-level, medium
-level, and low-level referees covered 1,874 +/- 431 m; 1,360 +/- 172 m; and
1,272 +/- 215 m, respectively. The test performances of top-level referees
in the Yo-Yo test was significantly different from those scored by medium-
level and low-level referees (p < 0.05). After the Yo-Yo test, blood lactate
concentrations (BLC) were higher in the medium-level and low-level referees
compared with the top-level referees (p < 0.05). The results of the present
study show that the Yo-Yo test and not the 12MRT can discriminate endurance
performance in experienced elite level soccer referees. With respect to its
discriminative and match performance validity, the Yo-Yo test may be
considered a relevant field test to assess endurance preparedness for
experienced soccer referees and a useful tool in talent selection. |
