From January 17 to 18, tests were conducted with the participation of 136 referees and their assistants. For referees from the southern regions, the events took place in Osh, while for those from the northern regions, they were held in Bishkek.
The physical fitness of the referees was assessed using the YO-YO fitness test, which is recognized by FIFA and AFC and is actively used on the international stage. Main referees were required to achieve a score of at least 18.4, while assistants needed to reach 17.6, according to FIFA standards.
The YO-YO test allows for an objective assessment of the referees' endurance, their ability to handle high workloads, and their overall physical readiness for matches. The results of the evaluations will be taken into account when forming lists of referees for tournaments and training camps, as well as for monitoring their physical fitness throughout the season.
As a result of the testing, the current physical condition of the referees was determined, and a list of candidates for upcoming training events was compiled.
