We tried the NEW referee fitness test

With the news out about the new fitness test in England for referees, We get a few referees of all different levels to try it out and see how they cope with the change. We get a variety of referees of different fitness and levels to see if they prefer the new interval test to the old Cooper test.

I love following this page as I am a referee fitness coach

[@quincycullina9236]

In the US, for Regional Referees, the test is 75m in 17 secs and 25m in 20 secs.

[@REFSIX]

how often do you run this test ?

[@ryanbevins6683]

Once a year

[@basilmohamed1655]

In Egypt, we do a first of 6*40 m under 6.20 second then take a recovery for 8 to 10 minutes before starting 75 m in 15 second and 25 m in 18 second 40 times. I am doing this since 2017. It's very tough and requires you to prepare well.

[@williambolsen5591]

For me, the hardest thing was the different pace on the curves vs down the straights. For reference, the 3rd lane on the curve is about 7 meters longer than the inside lane. I practice the test there so if I'm in a group that has slow members I won't fail because I have to run outside of them.

[@REFSIX]

I agree if you are not lucky you could have to work alot harder than some of the people you are running with!

[@Fozzee.1970]

Remember the for the 75m run you are supposed to have stopped at the 75m not run past it 5 to 10 metres then walk. You need to slow down before the marker.

[@REFSIX]

This seems like a very rubbish rule to me

[@haadiabdirizak6554]

In Somalia we Do: 75m in 15 secs, 25m walk in 18 secs x40 or ×10 laps

[@REFSIX]

Less recovery time! how do you find that?

Did my first fitness test today it was challenging but I need to work on my breathing and another of leg work

[@TheTopherPop]

Wouldn’t say it is a new test. This one has been implemented since 2016, maybe new to the FA, but seem to be behind what all the FIFA tournaments expect as the referee test

[@REFSIX]

We have been running the Cooper test forever so this is new to us in England! and it has alot of people worried!

[@irvinquijano]

I'm gonna give a try next week . I think I'm fit but not that fit lol 😅.

[@REFSIX]

Good luck! Let us know how you get on !

[@JudeEtyang-ei9zb]

75 m in 15 sec Sprint, 25 m recovery in 18 sec is not that bad. But try 75m in 15 sec and 25 m recovery in 15 sec, you'll see fire my colleagues.

[@REFSIX]

maybe thats a video idea in the summer !
