A Global Positioning System Used to Monitor the Physical Performance of Elite Beach Handball Referees in a Spanish Championship

Beach handball is a fully developed sporting discipline on all five continents which has attracted the attention of researchers in the last decade, resulting in a proliferation of different studies focusing on players but not on referees. The main objective of this cross-sectional research was to de...

The main objective of this cross-sectional research was to determine the physical demands on elite male beach handball referees in four different competitions: U18 male; U18 female; senior male; and senior female. Twelve elite federated male referees (age: 30.86 +/- 8 years; body height: 175.72 +/- 4.51 cm; body weight: 80.18 +/- 17.99 kg; fat percentage: 20.1 +/- 4.41%; national or international experience) belonging to the Technical Committee of the Royal Spanish Handball Federation were recruited for this the study.

A triaxial accelerometer (100 Hz) was used to determine their acceleration.

The lack of differences (p > 0.05) between most analysed variables suggest quite similar physical demands of the four analysed competitions.
