Description
Rugby Union has undergone significant changes since it became professional in 1995. One area that has evolved substantially is strength and conditioning. Players now seek structured athletic training interventions to complement their rugby training, driven by the need for robustness and injury prevention. The sport's demands have led to a greater emphasis on scientific approaches to prescribing strength and conditioning. In "Strength and Conditioning for Rugby Union", Joel Brannigan presents the underlying principles of training and provides a framework for assessing players and planning targeted interventions. This book offers guidance for coaches and trainers working with rugby players at various levels, from fundamental principles to practical advice on implementation.
