Abstract
Background: Sports refereeing is one of the main pillars of weightlifting in particular. The burden of the referee is very heavy. The number of valid attempts gives the player six attempts (three attempts to snatch and three attempts to clean and jerk) and serious knowledge of the rule gives him the ability to make the right decision in the judgment on the validity of highness through the proper application of the law of the game in addition to the correct technical knowledge of the performance of the movement.
Purpose: The research aims to identify the obstacles facing the arbitration process in the sport of weight lifting to create the appropriate atmosphere that allows the rulers to play their role to the fullest and to promote the high performance. It was my research question: (1) what are the constraints related to (union, place, players, coaches, management, the public, and the media)? and (2) what is the proposed model for the development of work in the field of weight lifting arbitration?
Methods: The researcher used the descriptive method (survey studies) for the occasion and nature of the research. and The researcher prepared a questionnaire to collect the data in question from the referees sample (n=80) registered with the Egyptian weightlifting Federation.
Results: The results showed some obstacles: (A) Lack of experience in official tournaments,(B) The new players are not familiar with the variables of the law,(C) Lack of insurance for some tournaments,(D) Some administrative problems of the lifting,(F) not to deal with the flags for weightlifting sport similar to other sports.
Discussion and conclusion: This study shows that there is a weakness in the material return to the weight lifting referees. There are also some administrative problems related to the courses of polishing and the knowledge they have. There are also some problems related to the lack of actual participations in major tournaments. In light of the discussion of these results, the researcher reached a model to help overcome these obstacles that hinder the work in the field of weightlifting arbitration.
