| Sumario: | Football referees must undergo unique physical, tactical and psychological preparation to face the demands of the game and perform efficiently. Psychological factors, particularly emotional intelligence, are directly linked to sports performance, but it is also affected by other variables such as health and burnout. The objective of this study is focused on evaluating emotional intelligence and its relationship with subjective perceptions of health and burnout syndrome in Spanish football referees. Participants in the study were 4099 referees from all categories in Spain between the ages of 14 and 66 years, of which 3773 were men and 362 women. Three instruments were used: the Trait-Meta Mood Scale (TMMS-24), the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) and the Oldenburg burnout inventory (OLBI). The results of the study reveal that the clarity and emotional repair dimensions of the emotional intelligence construct are inextricably connected with subjective perceptions of health, and, furthermore, that burnout acts as a mediating variable when it comes to a better perception of health. The results highlight the importance of working on psychological variables to foster better performance and the need to promote training programs to ensure efficient emotional management, eliminating disconnection and/or exhaustion syndrome that affects referee health. |
