Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: in this article, a model is developed that includes the main elements of a typical game situation in which the assistant referee must judge a possible offside. In this conceptual framework, the assumption is incorporated that the assistant makes a change of gaze and can only evaluate the relative position of the attacker with respect to the penultimate opponent thousandths of seconds after the pass.
Objective: to identify the determinants of the degree of difficulty that exists in making a correct ruling in which the assistant referee must judge a possible offside.
Material and methods: analytical-synthetic and systemic structural-functional methods were used as theoretical methods of scientific research. Of the empirical ones, documentary analysis and expert judgment, as well as statistical methods (Hypothesis testing.
Results: it is shown that in most cases he must make a decision at the moment when the distortion derived from this fact reaches its maximum expression.
Conclusions: the estimates made for different situations allow the model's derivations to be verified and quantified.
