“…thus, monitoring of injuries at an adolescent level in South African schoolboy rugby is an area that needs further attention, specifically for the development of injury prevention programs. Moreover, only 1 no-fee-paying school coach prescribed injury prevention exercises, although this should be an integral part of a rugby training program to ensure adequate preparation for high impact forces before play [22]. Recent position statements have identified the importance of strength and conditioning in identifying deficits in young players and addressing individual limitations [23].…”

Purpose. the purpose of the investigation was to determine the injuries and injury prevention strategies in high school rugby union players, as reported by the coaches. Methods. A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted where participants (from fee-paying and no-fee-paying schools) were required to complete an electronically based questionnaire focusing specifically on injuries and injury prevention strategies in male high school level rugby players. Results. the results indicated that the most common injured position was the back row, while 60% of all injuries were to the shoulder region. Furthermore, while the majority (75%) of coaches did record injury statistics, only a limited number implemented injury prevention strategies (mainly from fee-paying schools). the most common injury prevention tool reported was 'strengthening target areas'. Conclusions. It was concluded that all schools should monitor injuries and implement some form of strength and conditioning program to reduce the risk of player injury. Furthermore, it was noted that for this to occur, the education of the coach as well as the player was highly important.

“…It is common for injury prevention ( prehabilitation) programmes to be implemented at elite levels of rugby. 56 However, these are primarily implemented at a local level by practitioners and such programmes may only be adopted practice in a small minority of teams at youth/school level. Before such exercise programmes may be rolled out and evaluated for effectiveness in realworld contexts, their efficacy must first be demonstrated in a more tightly-regulated environment.…”

BackgroundInjuries to youth rugby players have become an increasingly prominent health concern, highlighting the importance of developing and implementing appropriate preventive strategies. A growing body of evidence from other youth sports has demonstrated the efficacy of targeted exercise regimens to reduce injury risk. However, studies have yet to investigate the effect of such interventions in youth contact sport populations like rugby union.ObjectiveTo determine the efficacy of an evidence-based movement control exercise programme compared with a sham exercise programme to reduce injury risk in youth rugby players. Exercise programme compliance between trial arms and the effect of coach attitudes on compliance will also be evaluated.SettingSchool rugby coaches in England will be the target of the researcher intervention, with the effects of the injury prevention programmes being measured in male youth players aged 14–18 years in school rugby programmes over the 2015–2016 school winter term.MethodsA cluster-randomised controlled trial with schools randomly allocated to either a movement control exercise programme or a sham exercise programme, both of which are coach-delivered. Injury measures will derive from field-based injury surveillance, with match and training exposure and compliance recorded. A questionnaire will be used to evaluate coach attitudes, knowledge, beliefs and behaviours both prior to and on the conclusion of the study period.Outcome measuresSummary injury measures (incidence, severity and burden) will be compared between trial arms, as will the influence of coach attitudes on compliance and injury burden. Additionally, changes in these outcomes through using the exercise programmes will be evaluated.Trial registration numberISRTCNN13422001.

“…Subsequently, the case study helped identify the importance of prehabilitation exercises for the shoulder complex and lower limbs (for example, hamstring). During the season, this led to the integration of specific prehabilitation sessions and exercises in the weight room and 'on the field' as part of the overall training regime [29]. This case study further helped inform the 'mapping' of an exercise (combining weight room and field-based training) matrix utilised for the sequential development of players.…”

This paper examines the training and competition loads performed with a full-time professional rugby league team during a Super League 1 season (pre-and inseason). While a logical and evidence-based approach was taken, involving initial planning, delivery, monitoring and evaluation, the idiosyncratic aspects of such a professional environment requires a high degree of tacit knowledge and adaptability.The current paper will therefore, describe the context, outline the broad process and approach, provide some detailed case examples of support work undertaken with associated data, and identify the methods for evaluation.The use of four case studies (i.e.: i) injury audit; ii) hydration in a training week; iii) alternative training strategy; and iv) monitoring) helped review and inform strength and conditioning practice within a professional rugby league club environment. This 1 Super League is the highest level of competition in professional English Rugby League with fourteen franchised teams. 2.applied/ecologically valid environment highlights the nexus between science and practice and how they combine to inform the performance approach.
