The effect of special exercises according to the Y0-Y0- Test to develop the speed endurance of futsal referees

Abstract

The importance of the study lies in the tasks of futsal referees, where it consists in the ability of referees to maintain endurance at high speeds under constant working conditions and the development of fatigue resistance under high-intensity loads. The research aims to prepare special exercises based on the Y0-Y0 test and determine the effect of special exercises based on the Y0-Y0 test in the development of speed tolerance for indoor football referees. The researcher used the experimental design of grouping, pre-testing, post-testing, and experimentation in proportion to the nature of the study, its community, and the study sample. The researcher used an intentional research sample. The research sample consisted of futsal referees of the first level, and included an exploratory sample consisting of (2) referees, an authentic research sample, and a basic experimental sample consisting of (6) futsal referees of the same sample. The researcher has come to the following conclusions: that football referees for gyms cannot do without physical abilities in general and the ability to withstand speed in particular, and it has also been proven that speed endurance is irreplaceable because through it the referee can carry out his various activities on the field and their tests for what is characterized by high intensity and for a long time and maintain this activity without a drop in performance. The researcher also recommended using the training curriculum that concerns the development of speed tolerance at different stages of training, taking into account individual differences. Futsal referees should use the yo-yo test and make it part of the training curriculum.
