Özet
The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of 8-week bosuball exercises on Yo-Yo running performance of soccer referees. A total of 40 active soccer referees between the ag-es of 19-48 participated in the study voluntarily. In the study, Yo-kYo test and maximum oxygen capacity (VO2max) obtained from running distances were used to determine the aerobic capacity of the participants. The results of the pre test were evaluated and the par-ticipants were homogenously divided into control and experimental groups. During 8 weeks, the experimental group performed bosuball exercises in the last 30 minutes of their training while the control group continued their routine training. The results of the study showed a significant increase in Yo-Yo running distances and VO2max parameters of the experimental group after the intervention. The change between pre and post aerobic per-formance test results was not significant in the control group. : Bosuball exercises signifi-cantly improve aerobic performance of soccer referees. It is recommended to include bo-suball exercises in the scientifically based training programmes of soccer referees.
