The study analyzes the injury statistics of the beginner football referee training system (academies, schools, centers); and rates the injury risk factors versus the reported musculoskeletal system injuries in the field trainings and class education and training process. Subject to the study were two groups of students of the All-Russian Association of Football Referee Training Centers in the period of 2014-2016. Group 1 (n=20) was composed the students with musculoskeletal system injuries contracted during the education/ training process or formal refereeing services to amateur clubs. Group 2 (n=27) was randomly sampled of 68 healthy students. The individual adaptability of the sample was rated by Omega-S and Omron BF-508 Test Systems, plus the orthostatic tests and Harvard step-test method. The study data and analyses showed the individual adaptability rate being correlated with the musculoskeletal system injury statistics; and were used to produce injury prevention recommendations for the beginner football referee training system.

Keywords: football referees, students of academies/ centers, injury statistics, risk factors.
