Recovery: Humanised Machinery?

Angela Calder’s work indicates the opportunities for enhanced performance when we combine our interest in the official as a machine and as a social person.

Recovery methods integrate and make personal officiating performance.

Time and Motion Analysis


Donna O’Connor’s (1994) study of elite touch referees and Leonie Otago and others’ (1994) study of netball umpires identified methodologies for quantifying in-game movement patterns ...in order to enhance referee/umpire performance.



TOUCH REFEREES:Locomotor activities identified.

A study of eight referees.

Intermittent nature of activity profile and significance of buddy referee system.

Implications for training programmes.

NETBALL UMPIRES:Impact of changes in standard and speed of play for umpires.

Heart rate data were collected in competition.

Umpires’ movement patterns were recorded on videotape.

In order to optimise a referee’s performance,training programs should enable referees toreplicate as closely as possible the physical requirements demanded in a game. O’Connor (1994)

Training is essential to improve fitness for umpires in order for them to keep up with play and be able to operate effectivelyin decision-making … Otago, Riley and Forrest (1994)

Physiological Preparation

Physiological Preparation

David Pyne’s (1994) reported an ACTAFL training programme for field and boundary

umpires that emphasised specificity.

A programme devised for a wide range ofumpires of different age, experience and fitness

levels.

Psychological Profile of Performance


Richard Evans’ (1994) study of soccer referees:

1. Limited information about officials.2. Communication strategies and proxemics.

3. Psychological profiles of successful referees?

4. A case study of 20 Australian referees.



5. A study of how referees interpret their motivations (metamotivations).

6. Results indicated that elite Australian referees appeared to have similar psychological profiles.

… we must continue toinvestigate the characteristicsthat comprise the performanceof top level referees just as wewould investigate what causessuperior athletic performance.

Richard Evans (1994)

Rest and RecoveryRest and RecoveryRussell Trotter (1994) has written about rest and recovery for rugby union referees in order to:

Develop of training rhythms.Optimise performance in games.Increase work load.Accelerate recovery.

“with a view to improve performance and enjoyment”

Interdisciplinary and Inter-Game?

Interdisciplinary and Inter-Game?

1. A range of excellent Australian practice to share and develop.

2. Officiating offers the opportunity to integrate what we know.

3. Recovery is an excellent example of how to harmonise the physiological, psychological and nutritional aspects of officiating.

1. The INVARIANT structure of officiating performance?

A Great Divide?A Great Divide?

Scott Dickson and Paul Webb (1998)suggest that officials have in common with coaches:

1. Respect for the game.2. Effective invisibility.3. Authority.4. Teaching.5. Health and safety.

Each game has a special music. When the referee is in tune, the game is good …There is a different feeling in a children’s game than an international, and the referee must have empathy with the feeling of the game.

(Water Polo Referee)

… the biggest problem is to firstly improve the standard of performance by umpires. This is probably applicable to most sportsin this country. From where I stand, improved performance is basic to solving most of the problems which confront umpiring/refereeing.

Competent and Effective Officiating?

Competent and Effective Officiating?Mark Anshel and Paul Webb (1991) investigated competencies of effective touch referees.

1. Focus on behaviours.2. Panels of experts determined competencies.

3. Essential, important and non-essential competencies were identified.

There is a need to systematicallyassess the performance of sportsofficials in an objective, measurable,and observable manner.

1. Celebrate the DIVERSITY of officiating behaviours.

2. Recognise that there are GENERIC issues available for discussion and reflection.

3. Acknowledge the DYNAMIC nature of sports contests.

4. Open up to the INTEGRATION of performance.
