PURPOSE: Decision making is a critical skill for sports officials, often directly influencing the flow and fairness of a match. While this topic has received considerable interest in the literature, a synthesis of current evidence to understand the effectiveness of decision-making training interventions remains unexplored. Therefore, the aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of decision-making interventions in team sport officials.
PRINCIPAL RESULTS: A total of 14 studies were identified, with a random-effects meta-analysis revealing an overall moderate positive effect of decision-making training on decision-making performance outcomes (g = 0.68, p < .001) compared to control conditions. Notably, decision-making training was more effective in Soccer (g = 1.05), Rugby Union (g = 0.90), but not for Australian Football (g = 0.24). Video-based (i.e., 2-D footage) showed significant improvements, especially for objective decision-making outcomes like offside identification (g = 1.48, p < .001). However, our findings indicated that decision-making training tends to be less effective for subjective decision-making outcomes that requires higher levels of interpretation. Furthermore, shorter interventions (4-6 weeks) were found to be most effective, with performance improvements reducing as interventions increased in time.
MAJOR CONCLUSIONS: Our findings highlight the need for further research to explore alternative technologies such as virtual reality to understand how to better replicate game scenarios and assess the transferability of decision-making training to real-world officiating contexts. Additionally, this review highlights the need to investigate sports beyond Soccer, Rugby, and Australian Rules Football to develop our understanding further into optimising decision-making training in sports officials.
