... Therefore, many studies have been carried out over time with the aim of understanding how referee performance is affected by constraints such as activity profiles (i.e., total covered distance, running speed, accelerations, etc.) and physical ability , biases in referee's decisionmaking (Dawson, 2012), training referees (Mascarenhas, O'Hare & Plesser, 2006) and assistant referees (Put et al., 2014). On other hand, literature on football referee lacks research on topics such as conflict management (Mascarenhas, O'Hare & Plesser, 2006), recruitment and retention (Johansen, 2015), body composition (Casajús et al., 2016), injuries (Oliveira, Reis & Inácio, 2016), refereeing team (Samuel, 2015), nutrition (Paes & Fernandez, 2016) among others (Vasilica, Silva, Costa, Figueira, & Vaz, 2020, 2022. ...
... Several previous studies have examined refereeing in sports, such as individual differences in the selection of referees [14], physical abilities [15][16][17] and psychological [17][18][19][20], a challenge for referees in decision making [3], cardiac fitness and body composition of referees [21], communication and interaction [22], psychological and physiological aspects related to referee decision making [23], and the introduction of technology to become a sports referee [24][25][26]. To our knowledge, there are very limited studies examining mastery of game rules, stress management, and concentration on court tennis referee decision making. ...
