Abstract :The aim of this study was to compare the physical capacities, in-game activity profiles and decision-making skills of experienced and less experienced football referees during the match. A total of 10 football referees, 5 experienced insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(>5 years); and 5 less experienced insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(<5 years); participated in this study voluntarily. As a result of statistical analysis; aerobic capacity of experienced referees insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(61.14±3.31 ml/kg/min); was significantly higher than less-experienced referees insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(54.67±2.93 ml/kg/min.); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. As compared with less-experienced referees insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(9.09±1.08 km);, the total distance covered insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(10.73±.41 km); and sprint distance of experienced referees insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(experienced: 686.95±140.93 m, less-experienced: 459.85±168.37 m); were significantly higher in the match. There was no significant difference in the total decision scores in two football competitions between experienced and less experienced referees insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(184.80 ± 21.25 and 193.40±26.12); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p>0.05);. It was found that less-experienced referees made more incorrect decisions in the match than experienced referees insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(9.60±4.21 and 20.20±2.68); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. Experienced referees had higher in-game activity profiles than less-experienced referees, and their incorrect decision making scores were lower. In addition, in order to minimize the incorrect decision scores of the experienced and especially less-experienced referees in the match, it is thought that it is important to include exercises related to perceptual-motor skills in training programs as well as physical training.
