Rugby fitness training
The newsletter today focuses on flexibility. This is often a weak area for rugby players.Flexibility is important because it is a foundation upon which efficient and effective movement mechanics can be built.
For success on a rugby field you do not need to be able to do the splits but you do need to be able to perform all the movements demanded by 80 minutes of play.Closely tied into flexibility is having a perfect posture.Through stretching the tight muscles within your body you will be able to restore perfect posture which is when the body is at it's strongest and most efficient.
The first article today discusses flexibility in general, the second focuses on static stretching while the third is detailing active stretching. Read each of these articles to be sure you are covering this element within your training plan.
We are nearing the end of the season, what training plan will you be following this Summer?
Hope your training is going well
