- Abstract
The aim of this study was to find out the impact of a specialized programme on the development of postural stability of soccer referees. A single-group controlled experimental design lasting for 52 weeks was used. The observed group was tested using the UEFA 20 battery (25 tests). When the specialized programme of exercises was not implemented in the reference period (27 weeks) the observed group significantly got worse (<.05) in active mobility and flexibility (-3.09 points), in passive mobility and flexibility (-4 pts) and in coordination and proprioception (-2.18 pts). Within the course of the six-month-long experimental period active mobility and flexibility (+3.82 pts) and passive mobility and flexibility (+6.27 pts) significantly improved (<.05). In order that referees avoided an increased number of injuries, authors recommend realization of specialized Complex CoreTM exercises at least three times a week. During the monthly cycle it is inevitable to increase the level of demandingness and the content of exercises for injury prevention.
