Following baseline measurements and habituation procedures, 13 national\u2010level male referees completed a novel Soccer Referee Simulation whilst simultaneously adjudicating on a series of video\u2010based decision\u2010making clips. The correctness of each decision was assessed in relation to the mean heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), minute ventilation (VE), perceptions of breathlessness (RPE\u2010B) and local muscular (RPE\u2010M) exertion and running speeds recorded in the 10\u2010s and 60\u2010s preceding decisions. There was a significant association between decision\u2010making accuracy and the mean HR (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.042; V<jats:sub>C<\/jats:sub>\u00a0=\u00a00.272) and RR (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.024, V<jats:sub>C<\/jats:sub>\u00a0=\u00a00.239) in the 10\u2010s preceding decisions, with significantly more errors observed when HR\u00a0\u2265\u00a090% of HR<jats:sub>max<\/jats:sub> (OR, 5.39) and RR\u00a0\u2265\u00a080% of RR<jats:sub>peak<\/jats:sub> (OR, 3.34). Decision\u2010making accuracy was also significantly associated with the mean running speeds performed in the 10\u2010s (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.003; V<jats:sub>C<\/jats:sub>\u00a0=\u00a00.320) and 60\u2010s (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.016; V<jats:sub>C<\/jats:sub>\u00a0=\u00a00.253) preceding decisions, with workloads of \u2265250\u00a0m\u00b7min<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup> associated with an increased occurrence of decisional errors (OR, 3.84). Finally, there was a significant association between decision\u2010making accuracy and RPE\u2010B (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.021; V<jats:sub>C<\/jats:sub>\u00a0=\u00a00.287), with a disproportionate number of errors occurring when RPE\u2010B was rated as <jats:italic>\u201cvery strong\u201d<\/jats:italic> to <jats:italic>\u201cmaximal\u201d<\/jats:italic> (OR, 7.19). Collectively, the current data offer novel insights into the detrimental effects that high workloads may have upon the decision\u2010making performances of soccer referees. Such information may be useful in designing combined physical and decision\u2010making training programmes that prepare soccer referees for the periods of match play that prove most problematic to their decision\u2010making.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ejsc.12096","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,18]],"date-time":"2024-03-18T11:53:29Z","timestamp":1710762809000},"page":"659-669","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Decision\u2010making
