Refereetrainer, app support for the physical preparation of football referee: feasibility study

Journal Name:

Publication Year:

Abstract (2. Language): 
Specific training programs for soccer referees are required in order to get an adequate fitness. Many mobile apps have been developed to track and manage training programs. In this paper, a viability study of an app for soccer referee is presented. A research mixed methodology involving a combination of techniques have been used. Although potential users have been very interested in this kind of apps, currently there is not a specific app for them.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Los árbitros de fútbol requieren entrenamientos específicos que les permitan adquirir la condición física adecuada para afrontar sus tareas durante los partidos de manera eficiente. Desde la aparición de los dispositivos móviles, se han desarrollado multitud de aplicaciones para la monitorización y gestión de rutinas de entrenamiento. En este trabajo se presenta un estudio de viabilidad de una app específica para árbitros de fútbol. Para ello, se han empleado una combinación de técnicas mediante un método mixto de investigación. A pesar de que los potenciales usuarios se han mostrado muy interesados en este tipo de aplicaciones, en la actualidad no existe ninguna solución para ellos.
