The tests, physical fitness measures (age, weight, height, body fatpercentage), and skinfold measurements, are performed to the soccer referees. Descriptive analysis and analysis of varianceOne-Way ANOVA were applied to the data at p<0.05 and p<0.01 significant level. Tukey HSD test for Post Hoc MultipleComparisons was applied to get the differences among the groups. As a result, there are significant differences between thegroups (super league, super league assistant and classman referees) at age, weight and body mass index measurements at p<0.01level. At the present research, we have found that super league referees (age 33,47¡À4,77 years, weight 79,25¡À5,61 kg, height178.83¡À3.80 cm, body fat % 14.80¡À 2.31), classman referees (age 30,14¡À3,61 years, weight 78,28¡À6,00 kg, height 178.86¡À4.49cm, body fat % 15.12¡À2.43), super league assistant referees (age 29,58¡À3,69 years, weight 74,80¡À6,27 kg, height 178.06¡À4.79cm, body fat %14.97¡À2.50). As a result of the research, super league referees are older than classman referees and super leagueassistant referees, super league referees and classman referees are heavier than super league assistant referees. Body mass indexof the Turkish referees is that super league referees (24,80¡À1,39kg/m2), classman referees (24,43¡À1,28kg/m2) and super leagueassistant referees (23,64¡À1,64kg/m2). All the differences in parameters at the research are assessed and training of the refereesand appropriate diet of the referees should be designed. %K Soccer %K Referees %K Skinfold %K Anthropometric %U http://www.selcukbesyo.org/dergimiz/index.php/JPESS/article/viewFile/70/75
