Study design. The survey was carried out on the penultimate matchday of the first round and the penultimate matchday of the second round of the first 1. German Handball League. The time between the two survey times represents the prospective data collection. All referees leading matches in the 1.-3. German Handball League and the 1. German Women Handball League were asked to participate in the study. Numbers represent the respective matchday. Although the leagues differed in the number of match days (from 26 match days in the 1. German Women Handball League to 38 matchdays in the 2. German Handball League), their season schedule was relatively similar. The full season of the different leagues lasted from August/September 2018 to May/June 2019
