Rugby Union as a sport has seen continual evolution over the years,
and never more so than since the game officially became
professional in 1995. While on the pitch tactics have seen more
formalized approaches to skill acquisition, it is off the pitch
where the biggest changes have occurred and no area has developed
more than strength and conditioning. Players have gone from
traditionally training for 'fitness' as an add-on to their rugby
training to seeking out structured athletic training interventions.
Furthermore, with modern rugby players being physically bigger and
faster, the need to ensure that they are more robust and free from
injury has led to the demand for a more scientific approach to the
prescription of strength and conditioning. In Strength and
Conditioning for Rugby Union, ex-international player Joel
Brannigan presents the underpinning science of strength and
conditioning in rugby. Using the fundamental principles of
training, he details a structure of assessing rugby players that in
turn will allow appropriate training inverventions to be planned
out and, most importantly, coached to a wide range of rugby playing
levels.
