The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between maximal aerobic power and fatique index in elitee soccer referees and assistant referees. The second purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between after multistage Shuttle run test`s active recovery heart rate, blood lactate level with maximal aerobic power and fatique index in elitee soccer referees and assistant referees. METHOD: 5 top class and 25 elitee soccer male referees mean age 33,47 ±4,76, height 178,83 ±3,80 cm, weight 79,25.±5,60 kg., body mass index 23,46 ±1,99, % body fat 14.8 ± 2,35; and 7 top class and 44 elitee male assistant referees mean age 29,76 ±3,64, height 178,13 ±4,78 cm, weight 74,82 ±6,11 kg., body mass 21,03 ± 1,48, body fat 15,02 ±2,47 gr. took part in the study. Maximal oxygen uptake (maxVo2) during Multistage Shuttle run test and fatique index during 6x40 metre repeated-sprint performance test were measured in the soccer field. All tests were performed higher than 1500 metres altitude before preperat?on term. Blood lactate were measured by Roche, Micro Volume Lactate Analyser. Significant correlations were examined via Pearson product correlation coefficients. RESULTS: Elite referees demonstrated a mean aerobic power of 46,23 ±3,03 ml.kg-1/ min-1. Mean final heart rate, after 1 min, 2 min and 3 min resting heart rate were 179±9, 141±12, 118±9, 108±8 b.min¯¹, respectively. After multistage shuttle run testing blood lactate level were 7,84±1,97 mmol l (-1), mean fatique index were 0,25 ± 0,13 s. and mean sprint time were 5,96 ± 0.21 s. Assistant referees demonstrated a mean aerobic power of 46,83 ±2,93 ml.kg-1/ min-1. Mean final heart rate, after 1 min, 2 min and 3 min resting heart rate were 180±10, 139±13, 119±10, 110±9 b.min¯¹, respectively. After multistage shuttle run testing blood lactate level were 7,64 ±1,95 mmol l(-1), mean fatique index were 0,62 ±0,43 s. and mean sprint time were 6,19 ±0.24 s. No significant correlations were established between maximal oxygen uptake and the fatique index (r= -125 and -042, p>0.05) in referees and assistant referees. There was no significant correlation between active recovery heart rate, blood lactate level with maxVo2 and fatique index in referees and assistant referees. There were just significant negative correlation between maxVo2 and blood lactate concentration in elite assistant referees (r= -,424 p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Tests were performed before pre-session and high altitude, because of this will be expected to affect negative on maximal aerobic power and fatique index variables. I.mproved of maximal aerobic power might reduce the negative effect on blood lactate accumulation.
