Unit 7 – Fundamentals of FitnessThe Field Umpire is responsible for controlling thematch, assisted by Goal and Boundary Umpires.Successful umpiring is dependent upon being inthe best possible position in relation to the playfrom which to adjudicate.It is therefore extremely important that the Umpirebe close to the main action and have maximumconcentration and awareness in order to applythe correct interpretation of the Laws.In football most of the action occurs around wherethe ball is or will be located.Modern football is based on moving the ball quicklyand the Field and Boundary Umpires must be physicallyconditioned in order to achieve the best position fromwhich to adjudicate.As a person becomes physically fatigued theirconcentration level drops as does their capacityto perceive events.Umpires need to be physically fit to:• consistently maintain the best possible positionin relation to play from which to adjudicate;• resist the effects of fatigue and maintain optimumconcentration levels.ASSESSMENTYou will need to demonstratefitness levels required for aLevel One umpire, such as:• attempting to be up with play during the match;• responding to play throughout the match.18 level one umpires manual
Unit 8 – Personal Health and SafetyDiet and NutritionNutrition is important in assisting Umpires achievemaximum performance on the sporting field.Training DietThe foods Umpires consume each day of thetraining week between matches have two importantfunctions. They:• provide all of the essential nutrients required bythe body, in the correct quantities for good health;• must provide enough energy to meet the demandsof training.There are several key nutrients that are of particularimportance to Umpires.CarbohydrateA limiting factor to endurance exercise is the depletionof muscle glycogen stores, which results in fatigueand ultimately exhaustion.ProteinAn adequate protein intake is essential to the Umpire,for muscle tissue repair as well as many othermetabolic functions.This can easily be met by the regular consumptionof lean meat, poultry, fish as well as eggs and lowfat dairy products. Good plant sources of proteininclude nuts, seeds and legumes such as lentilsand soy beans.FatsTo obtain adequate protein and carbohydrateeach day, it is necessary to minimise fat intake.A low fat diet will also reduce the Umpires risk ofexcess body fat, heart disease and certain cancers.This can be done by limiting their intake of butter,margarine mayonnaise, cream, fried foods,fatty meats, chocolate, and high fat snack foods.FluidsProlonged periods of intensive exercise can resultin fluid losses of up to 2-3 litres.Dehydration will not only adversely affect the Umpire’sperformance, but can also be very dangerous.Thirst is a poor indicator of fluid needs and Umpiresmust get into the habit of regularly consuming waterbefore, during and after training and matches.The best fluid during training sessions is cool water.During matches, however, Umpires will benefit froma commercial sports drink that provides carbohydrateand fluid in a rapidly absorbed form.AlcoholAlcohol dehydrates the body.When consumed before a match it impairs the physicalperformance during the match.When consumed after the match, it retards recovery,which adversely affects the capacity to train well duringthe following week.Tobacco SmokingFrom an umpiring perspective, smoking reduces thefitness potential of the athlete.Health CareOne illness that greatly affects Australians isskin cancer.Skin Cancer BackgroundSkin cancer is a preventable cancer – all you have todo is take the necessary precautions and you can avoidbeing one of the two in three Australians who developa skin cancer.MODULE 2 19
