Abstract

While sports referees need to cover a wide spectrum of demands depending on the characteristics of the judged sport, the outstanding responsibility they are associated with, is the task of decision-making. The focus of martial arts referees lies in perception and cognitive processing to detect, categorize and evaluate fast-moving techniques performed within a short period. To accumulate the training intensity required to reach expert level, recent research suggests complementing competitive experience with a video-based training approach. By combining the benefits of video-based training with motivational game elements, the study aimed to develop a video-based serious game to train intuitive decision-making processes of martial arts referees through immediate feedback. The training platform called JudgED comprises two modules: (a) a serious game to train decision-making processes and (b) a content and administration interface to manage, prepare, annotate and augment the video content used in the serious game. To evaluate the effectiveness of the serious game, a method to measure the players’ decision accuracy and reaction time is proposed.
