Abstract

Background. Psychological pressure is an inherent characteristic of human performance in situations demanding rapid response and accurate judgment, particularly in the complex and multifaceted world of sports. Research Problem refereeing football is a sporting task that demands a high level of focus, accuracy, and emotional stability, given nature of refereeing decisions, which are made quickly and under influence of numerous factors. These factors include psychological pressures stemming from importance of matches, behavior of players and coaching staff, fan reactions, and constant media scrutiny. Objectives. This research aims to identify level of psychological stress and decision-making skills among international football referees in Iraq, and to reveal nature of relationship between them in light of realities of refereeing in field. Method. The researcher used a descriptive correlational approach, and the research population consisted of 20 officially accredited international referees with Iraqi Football Association during 2025–2026 sports season, selected purposively at a rate of 100%. A 30-item stress scale and a 26-item decision-making scale were used, after their validity and reliability were verified using appropriate scientific methods. Results. Results showed that referees' stress levels were relatively high, while their decision-making abilities were very good. Results also revealed a statistically significant inverse correlation between stress and decision-making, indicating that increased stress leads to a relative decrease in the efficiency of refereeing decisions. Conclusion. International football referees in Iraq suffer from a relatively high level of psychological pressure. The referees have a good level of decision-making. There is a statistically significant inverse correlation between psychological stress and decision-making. Psychological pressures negatively affect speed and accuracy of refereeing decisions during matches.

Abstract

Background. Passing accuracy in handball depends on proper neuromuscular activation and fast muscle force production. There is still little evidence supporting which type of muscular strength has the greatest impact on youth players’ medium and long passes accuracy. Objectives. Investigate the correlation between muscular strength components and youth Kiwan club players’ medium and long passes accuracy and identify the contribution of each muscular strength component on each skill. Methods. The research design was descriptive correlational. Participants included youth players in Kiwan Handball club. Physiological variables consisted of three muscular strength components: explosive strength, speed-strength, and strength endurance. Skill-related variables included medium and long pass accuracy. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Predictive strength of muscular strength components on medium and long passes accuracy was analyzed using multiple regression model, along with contribution analysis. Results. Muscular strength components were strongly correlated with passes accuracy. Regression analysis showed speed-strength is the only muscular strength component that significantly predicts youth players’ medium passes accuracy (t = 6.337, p

Abstract

Background Attention to the psychological aspect of players has become an essential part of sports preparation programs, as many studies indicate that psychological abilities such as concentration, attention, and emotional control play an important role in achieving athletic accomplishment, especially in team sports such as football, which are characterized by rapid performance and multiple changing situations during the match. Objectives The research aims to identify the role of mindfulness in improving concentration and sports attention among football players. Methods The researcher used the descriptive method due to its suitability to the nature of the research. The research sample consisted of (37) football players, To collect data, the researcher used a mindfulness scale and a sports concentration and attention scale, after verifying their validity and reliability. The analysis in this study was assisted using the SPSS 26 application. Results The results of the study showed that the dimension of attention to the present moment ranked first among the dimensions of mindfulness, with an agreement percentage of (80.88%), followed by the dimension of attention control with (73.71%), while the dimensions of awareness of feelings and thoughts and body awareness during performance recorded moderate percentages,The results also showed that the dimension of attention shifting ranked first among the dimensions of sports concentration and attention with (91.50%), followed by the dimension of response speed to stimuli with (82.42%). Conclusion The results further revealed the existence of statistically significant positive correlations between the dimensions of the mindfulness scale and the dimensions of the sports concentration and attention scale among football players. This indicates that the higher the level of mindfulness among players, the higher their level of concentration and attention during sports performance,In light of these results, the researcher recommended the importance of developing mindfulness skills among football players and incorporating them into psychological preparation programs, due to their important role in improving concentration, attention, and sports performance.
