ABSTRACT
El árbitro de fútbol se enfrenta a situaciones estresantes durante la competición deportiva mientras que lleva a cabo acciones físicas de gran exigencia para estar cerca de la jugada que conlleva una demanda fisiológica elevada. Los objetivos de este estudio son conocer las diferentes respuestas físicas, fisiológicas y psicológicas y sus interrelaciones en competición real en árbitros de fútbol amateurs y analizar el efecto de la categoría arbitrada con las características psicológicas relacionadas con el rendimiento. Participaron 15 árbitros pertenecientes al Comité Andaluz de Árbitros de Fútbol y se recogieron datos en 21 partidos de sus correspondientes ligas durante la temporada 2016-2017. Los resultados indicaron que los árbitros tienen una respuesta fisiológica menor en la segunda parte del partido, poseen mayor ansiedad somática y menor autoconfianza, control del estrés, motivación, habilidad mental y cohesión de equipo en los partidos de competición en comparación con la muestra basal (p < .05). Existen diversas correlaciones psico-fisiológicas entre el control del estrés con frecuencia cardíaca menor al 80% (positiva) y con frecuencia cardíaca superior al 80% (negativa) (p < .05). Como conclusión, el árbitro de fútbol amateur se expone a situaciones de estrés, el cual, el control de ésta, guarda relación con las respuestas fisiológicas producidas en competición, de forma que los árbitros con menor control del estrés desarrollan más respuestas fisiológicas en competición, lo que puede provocar tomar decisiones con un grado elevado de fatiga. Estos hallazgos pueden aconsejar al árbitro de fútbol complementar los entrenamientos con programas de intervención psicológicos para aumentar el control del estrés.(AU)
O árbitro de futebol enfrenta situações estressantes durante a competição esportiva enquanto realiza ações físicas de grande exigência para estar perto do jogo que implica uma demanda fisiológica elevada. Os objetivos deste estudo são conhecer as diferentes respostas físicas, fisiológicas e psicológicas e suas inter-relações em competição real em árbitros de futebol amadores e analisar o efeito da categoria arbitrada com as características psicológicas relacionadas com o desempenho. Participaram 15 árbitros pertencentes ao Comité Andaluz de Árbitros de Futebol e foram recolhidos dados em 21 jogos das suas ligas durante a temporada 2016-2017. Os resultados indicaram que os árbitros têm uma resposta fisiológica menor na segunda parte do partido, possuem maior ansiedade somática e menor autoconfiança, controle do estresse, motivação, capacidade mental e coesão de equipa nos jogos de competição em comparação com a amostra basal (p < .05). Existem diversas correlações psico-fisiológicas entre o controle do estresse com freqüência cardíaca inferior a 80% (positiva) e com freqüência cardíaca superior a 80% (negativa) (p < .05). Em conclusão, o árbitro de futebol amador expõe-se a situações de stress que, sob o seu controlo, estão relacionadas com as respostas fisiológicas produzidas em competição, de forma que os árbitros com menor controle do estresse desenvolvem mais respostas fisiológicas em competição, o que pode provocar decisões com um elevado grau de fadiga. Estes achados podem aconselhar o árbitro de futebol a complementar os treinos com programas de intervenção psicológicos para aumentar o controle do estresse.(AU)
The football referee faces stressful situations during the sports competition while performing physical actions of great demand to be close to the play that entails a high physiological demand. The objectives of this study are to know the different physical responses, physiological and psychological and their interrelationships in real competition in amateur football referees and analyze the effect of the referee category with the psychological characteristics related to performance. 15 referees from the Andalusian Committee of Football Referees participated and data were collected in 21 matches of their respective leagues during the 2016-2017 season. The results indicated that the referees have a lower physiological response in the second part of the game, have greater somatic anxiety and lower self-confidence, stress control, motivation, mental ability and team cohesion in competition matches compared to baseline (p < .05). There are several psycho-physiological correlations between stress control with heart rate less than 80% (positive) and heart rate greater than 80% (negative) (p < .05). In conclusion, the amateur football referee is exposed to situations of stress, which, control of this, is related to physiological responses produced in competition, so that referees with less stress control develop more physiological responses in competition, which can lead to decisions with a high degree of fatigue. These findings may advise the football referee to supplement training with psychological intervention programs to increase stress control.(AU)

The soccer referee confronts stressful situations during the sports competition while performing physical actions of great demand to be close to the play that entails a high physiological demand. The aims of this study are to know the different physical, physiological and psychological responses and their interrelations in real competition in amateur soccer referees and to analyze the effect of the refereed category with the psychological characteristics related to performance. Fifteen referees belonging to the Andalusian Committee of Soccer Referees participated and data were collected in 21 matches of their respective leagues during the 2016-2017 season. The results indicated that the referees have a minor physiological response in the second part of the match, have greater somatic anxiety and lower self-confidence, stress control, motivation, mental ability and team cohesion in competitive matches compared to the baseline sample (p < .05). There are several psycho-physiological correlations between stress control with heart rate less than 80% (positive) and heart rate greater than 80% (negative) (p < .05). In conclusion, the amateur soccer referee is exposed to stress situations, which, the control of it, is related to the physiological responses produced in competition, so that referees with less stress control develop more physiological responses in competition, which can cause decisions with a high degree of fatigue. These findings may advise the soccer referee to supplement training with psychological intervention programs to increase stress control.(AU)
