Testing of new fitness test for IHF referees
The referees could not really take a rest on the rest day of the World Championships. Directed by Prof. Hans Holdhaus, member of the IHF Medical Commission, a new fitness test for referees was carried out. These 7 tests in total aim at the following.- Check the overall fitness of referees focusing on referee-specific movements and strains.
- Elaborating precise individual support and recommendations on training for each referee for the purpose of optimising the physical preparation for international tournaments.The IHF indeed aims at composing precise training documentations for IHF referees via Internet but in particular optimising the referee training by means of precise exercise training tailored to the individual referee. A testing period shall help obtain a general idea of the referees’ physical skills. Afterwards, firm performance criteria regarding the physical requirements will be defined.
The tests carried out in Qatar had quite a long time been effected with top referees in other sports, e.g. in football, or with other handball teams. Some few changes have been included in order to imitate referee-specific movements during the test.The first impression of these new tests has already stressed the need for future effective referees fitness training. Referees are to improve their running endurance and the specific running technique. Future individually designed training programmes should contribute to improving the physical conditions of referees.
In close co-operation with the Medical Commission, the Rules and Referees Commission as well as the Coaching and Methods Commission the IHF is on a right track to adapt the referee training to the game that has gradually been speeding up in recent years.
