espanolHasta la fecha, el sindrome de burnout no ha sido especificamente analizado en el colectivo arbitral, aun conociendo sus importantes consecuencias fisicas y emocionales. En el presente trabajo se evalua, mediante el Athlete Burnout Questionnaire, la totalidad de arbitros de 1a y 2a Division de la LFP (n=123). Ademas, se estudia la relacion del sindrome en este colectivo con el estres, ansiedad y apoyo social. Los resultados muestran una prevale ncia del sindrome del 2.44%. Aunque, en general, no existen diferencias estadisticamente significativas en las dimensiones del sindrome en funcion de la Division, rol (arbitro principal o asistente) y experiencia arbitral, existe una tendencia a que los ar bitros principales, de 1a Division y mas experimentados presenten mayor riesgo de desarrollar el sindrome. Finalmente, se confirma la relacion del estres, ansiedad y apoyo social con el burnout en este colectivo (r=.78). EnglishTo date, the burnout syndrome has not been specifically assessed in referees, knowing its important physical and emotional consequences. In this paper, all soccer referees from 1 stand 2nd Division (n=123) of the Professional Spanish Soccer League (LFP) are assessed through Athlete Burnout Questionnaire. Furthermore, the relationship between the syndrome in referees and stress, anxiety and social support is examined. Results display a prevalence of burnout of 2.44%. Although, in general, no statistically significant differences have found in the dimensions of burnout syndrome according to the Division, role (head referee or assistant) and refereeing experience, there is a tendency for the head referees from 1st Division and more expertise report a higher risk of developing the syndrome. Finally, the relationship between stress, anxiety and social support and the syndrome is confirmed in this group (r=.78).
