Percepção da imagem corporal em árbitros de futebol / Body image perception in soccer referees

O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a percepção da imagem corporal e identificar fatores individuais associados a esta percepção em árbitros de futebol do Brasil. Participaram do estudo 94 árbitros profissionais pertencentes à Federação Catarinense de Futebol, sendo todos do sexo masculino. Para a identificação da percepção da imagem corporal os árbitros responderam o Body Shape Questionnaire. A massa corporal e a estatura autorrelatadas foram utilizadas para o cálculo do índice de massa corporal. Observou-se que 64,9% dos árbitros estão insatisfeitos com a imagem corporal, sendo que o índice de massa corporal médio foi de 24,4 kg/m2. Quanto ao tempo de treinamento, observou que os árbitros treinam em média 3 dias/semana, cerca de 60 minutos/treino. Conclui-se que a maior parte dos árbitros está insatisfeita com a imagem corporal, sendo que, aqueles que passam mais tempo em treinamento estão mais satisfeitos com a imagem corporal.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the body image perception and identify individual factors associated with this perception in Brazilian soccer referees. The study included 94 male professional referees registered at the Santa Catarina Soccer Federation. For the identification of body image perception, referees answered the Body Shape Questionnaire. Self-reported data on body weight and height were used to calculate body mass index. It was observed that 64.9% of referees were unsatisfied with their body image, and the mean body mass index was 24.4 kg/m². Regarding time spent in training, it could be observed that the referees train on average 3 days/week, for approximately 60 minutes/workout session. It can be concluded that most referees were unsatisfied with their body image, while those who spent more time in training are more satisfied with their body image.

The Relationship Between Coach and Player Training Load Perceptions in Professional Soccer.

The training load imposed and perceived by coaches and soccer players, respectively, was compared for three weeks of the basic preparatory period of a professional soccer team through session ratings of perceived exertion (S-RPE). Participants were 24 professional Brazilian soccer players (all males, age: 24.1 ± 3.4 years) and their coaches. Athletes responded to the scale of perceived exertion (scores from 0 to10) after the training, while the coaches completed the scale prior to the training session, based on prior planning. The t-test for independent samples was used to compare S-RPE responses, and the Pearson correlation test was used to examine possible correlations between the parameters analyzed. There were no statistical differences between perceptions of prescribed (coaches) and experienced (players) S-RPE, and moderate correlations were found between these parameters ( r = .60; p = .003). No statistically significant group differences were found in the perceived exertion during any of three types of training: physical, technical, or tactical. The results suggest that the S-RPE prescribed during the preseason period (by coaches) was not different from that perceived by professional soccer players.

Análise comparativa do perfil antropométrico de árbitros e jogadores de futebol / Comparative analysis of anthropometric profile in soccer players and referees

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar e comparar o perfil antropométrico de jogadores da categoria júnior, com alunos a árbitros de futebol, já que ambos estão se preparando para atuarem no futebol profissional. A amostra foi composta por 22 jogadores juniores e 37 alunos árbitros. Foram avaliadas as variáveis antropométricas de massa corporal e estatura, quatro dobras cutâneas, dois diâmetros ósseos e dois perímetros. Os alunos árbitros apresentaram um percentual de gordura corporal (%GC) de 14,3 ± 4,8, contra 11,2 ± 2,3% dos jogadores, sendo diferença estatisticamente significativa (p=0,0427). O somatotipo dos atletas da categoria júnior, foi classificado como mesomorfo-ectomorfo (2,5?3,6?3,3), ou seja, existe uma predominância dos componentes músculo-esquelético e linear (estatura). Os alunos árbitros apresentaram um somatotipo classificado como mesomorfo endomorfos (3,4-4,7-2,5), apresentando predominância dos componentes músculo-esquelético e tecido adiposo. Este maior acúmulo de gordura apresentado pelos alunos árbitros pode vir a ser um limitador do desempenho física durante a partida.

The aim of this study is to analyze and compare the anthropometric profile of junior soccer players with soccer referee students, since both are preparing to work in professional soccer. The sample was composed by 22 junior players and 37 student referees. Anthropometric variables of body mass and height, four skinfolds, two bone diameters and two bone perimeters were assessed. Student referees had a body fat percentage (BF%) of 14.3 ± 4.8 against 11.2 ± 2.3% of the soccer players, being statistically significant (p = 0.0427). Junior athlete somatotype was classified as mesomorphic-ectomorphic (2.5?3.6?3.3), that is, there is a predominance of musculoskeletal and linear (height) components. Students referees presented somatotype which was classified as mesomorphic?endomorphic (3.4?4.7?2.5), demonstrating predominance of musculoskeletal components and adipose tissue. This higher fat accumulation presented by student referees can become a limiting physical performance during a match.

Lesões ocorridas em árbitros de futebol da CBF durante a partida, treinamento e teste físico / Injuries occurred with CBF football referees during the match, training and physical test

Atualmente, as lesões desportivas têm ganhado destaque nosestudos envolvendo o futebol. Há muito se aventa que o árbitro defutebol estaria suscetível aos mesmos tipos de lesões que os jogadores.Assim sendo, o objetivo do trabalho foi analisar as situaçõesem que o árbitro profissional de futebol sofre lesões. Para tanto, aamostra foi composta por 18 árbitros da Confederação Brasileira deFutebol (CBF), com idade de 37,2 ± 3,3 anos, entrevistados duranteo teste físico aplicado pela Federação Paranaense de Futebol (FPF).Estabeleceram-se três situações em que o árbitro poderia se lesionare se esta lesão seria considerada lesão esportiva: durante a avaliaçãofísica, no treinamento e no transcorrer da partida. Do total daamostra pesquisada, 10 árbitros declararam ter sofrido algum tipode lesão esportiva em uma das situações descritas anteriormente.Foram identificadas 25 lesões. Destas 80% ocorreram durante otreinamento do árbitro. Os tipos encontrados foram 92% (23) dedistensões e 8% (2) de fraturas. Por estes dados, podemos concluirque os árbitros de futebol pouco se lesionam durante o jogo, sendomais frequente a ocorrência de lesões físicas durante o treino ou oteste físico...

Currently, sports injuries have highlighted studies which includefootball. For a long time it is known that football referee would besusceptible to the same injuries than the football players. Thus, theaim of this study was to analyze injuries situations in professionalfootball referees. The sample was composed of 18 referees fromBrazilian Football Confederation (BFC), 37.2 ± 3.3 years old, whowere interviewed during their physical test applied by ParanaenseFootball Federation (PFF). We established three situations that areferee could be injured and if this injury would be considered ornot a sports injury: during physical evaluation, in a training sessionor in a match. Ten of eighteen referees suffered one type of sportsinjury described in the above situations. We identified 25 injuries.Eighty percent of these injuries occurred during the referee trainingsession, and the most common injuries were 92% (23) distensionsand 8% (2) fractures. Therefore, we can conclude that footballreferees suffer few injuries during the game and more frequentlyget injured during training session or during their physical test...
