Rugby Fitness In The New Year

Rugby Fitness In The New Year

Explosive power, strength and endurance are but just a range of the attributes which any rugby player needs to make an impact on the pitch. Indeed, we at Rugby Plus believe that with the start of a New Year, a high quality rugby fitness plan should be implemented to ensure that these elements are fine-tuned and developed.

Certainly, perhaps the most important aspect to consider when implementing an effective and dynamic rugby fitness plan should be that of functionality. Matching the body positions and movements of an exercise on the pitch to that of one on the gym should facilitate in providing a level of power and strength, allowing players to excel with a new sense of dynamism. Indeed, traditional gym moves such as deadlifts and squats will facilitate in enhancing these elements as well as bench presses to work on upper body strength.

Of course, the very nature of rugby involves intervals of high intensity sprinting as well as periods of low intensity jogging and walking, especially for backs. As a result, a lot of emphasis should be placed upon cardiovascular exercises to ensure players are able to play with a high level of endurance and power. Additionally, circuit style training should also be incorporated to facilitate in ensuring players’ general fitness levels are high.

Of course, passing, tackling and a variety of specialist moves should also be involved in rugby fitness training to help facilitate in ensuring players are able to hit the pitch in true style this 2014. Working on various facets of the game will help players’ fitness and adaptability to a range of scenarios on the pitch. Indeed, incorporating these drills into your rugby fitness plan this New Year will ensure a new level of high quality rugby is played!

Indeed, Rugby Plus can ensure that you enjoy fantastic rugby fitness this 2014 with a range of excellent rugby equipment. Browse our various product ranges, including rugby training balls and rugby holdalls to kick-start your rugby fitness in the New Year!
