A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

It's hard to believe that only 15 years ago rugby was a sport still dominated by big, beer-drinking amateur players. Today that ethos is long gone, as the sport has been catapulted into an era of super fit athletes. No other sport, in terms of fitness and coaching, has made such major strides in the last decade. Yet so many of the training and conditioning techniques now being used by professional players and their coaches have yet to percolate further down the sporting ranks. Understandably, perhaps, those at the very top are hardly likely to volunteer the secrets that underlie their successes on the field... Training for Rugby brings you the advanced training techniques used by top professional rugby players and their coaches. It explains how you, too, can achieve the advanced level of conditioning you need to play at your very best. You'll find out how to attain higher levels of strength, speed and agility - without over-training or suffering a debilitating sports injury. The last thing any athlete wants is to be kept off the field on the day of the Big Game - just when your team needs you most. This 86-page report presents you with a rare opportunity to assess the latest sports science research on rugby training and conditioning for yourself - and decide how best to integrate it into your daily and weekly programmes. Read Training for Rugby today and here are some of the facts you'll learn: How can coaches adapt aerobic and anaerobic training to meet the needs of players in different positions on the field? What's the best way to enhance your ability to turn at high speed without injury? Which exercises specifically enhance a player's ability to avoid tackles - or break straight through them if need be? How can rugby forwards make sure they get maximum benefit from time spent in the weights room? Which forms of pre-match conditioning are most responsible for sports injury - and should therefore be kept to a minimum? What's the best way to adapt weight training programmes for youth players?
