Study on the sports burnout and its incidence in the arbitration in football (Review)

Abstract

While it is true that the referee or sports judge is a key figure in organized sport for the proper development of the competition (Louvet, Gaudreau, Menaut, Genty, & Deneuve, 2009), it highlights the remarkable lack of attention they have received As far as the syndrome is concerned (Dosil, 2004; Gustafsson et al., 2014). In fact, only the effect that various variables such as the fear of making mistakes or interpersonal conflicts in competition exert on the syndrome has been analyzed, attributing a stressor role to the syndrome and the possible abandonment of arbitration (Rainey, 1999; Rainey & Hardey, 1999). However, taking into account the high physical and psychological demands that elite referees have to face, it is understood that these are perfectly susceptible to developing this syndrome.
