商品簡介
The Science of Rugby is the only book to examine the scientific principles underpinning the preparation of rugby players for high performance. Drawing on the very latest scientific evidence, and covering both codes (union and league), the book explores every aspect of training and in-match performance and introduces best practice by leading coaches and sports science professionals from around the rugby world.
The book covers key topics such as:
- Performance analysis
- Monitoring match and training demands
- Periodization and training plans
- Metabolic conditioning
- Strength and power training
- Speed and agility training
- Management of fatigue
- Managing and preventing injury
- Psychological preparation
- Biomechanics
- Nutrition
- Talent identification and youth development
Each chapter includes an extensive case-study that demonstrates how scientific principles have been applied in practice, as well as reflections from leading coaches on how they have incorporated sport science into their performance programmes. No other book bridges the gap between theory and applied practice in rugby, from grass roots to elite international level, and therefore this is essential reading for any student, researcher, sport science support officer, coach, physiotherapist or clinician with an interest in the game.
