Over the last 20 years the professionalization of both codes of
rugby (league and union) has led to increasing demands on players.
The Science of Sport: Rugby provides a comprehensive and accessible
overview of the science behind preparing for performance in rugby.
Using key scientific research and practical applications, the book
offers an insight into how science can inform practice to improve
player performance. The authors contributing to this book are world
leading in their respective fields, ranging from academics
researching rugby performance to practitioners delivering this
information within the professional game. This new book covers:
movement and physiological demands; fitness testing; fatigue and
recovery; nutrition; strength and conditioning; injury
rehabilitation; decision-making; skill assessments; young rugby
players; talent identification and development; referees and
finally, coaching planning and practice. This book bridges the gap
between theory and practical application.
