Estresse físico do árbitro de futebol

Abstract

Given the constant evolution of football, as well as the essentiality of the figure of the referee for the said sport, the present work has proposed to analyze the physical requirements required of this professional during a football match. The study took into consideration the intensity of the exercise performed by the referee who, occasionally, depending on his previous training, can have serious physical consequences, such as physical stress. For this, first, a study was made about football, its origin and popularity. In the sequence, the refereeing, its attributions and importance for compliance with the rules of football, based on articles with a database of Scielo, duly referenced. Finally, a systemic approach was presented on the physical stress that the soccer referee is subject to, the factors that influence his or her relaxation and the positive attitudes to avoid the occurrence of an exaggerated physical effort.
