Since they are kids, rugby players acquire positive qualities such as companionship, respect, discipline, sacrifice and altruism. A try is the major way of scoring points in rugby, but it’s a result of the team strivings. Therefore, physical training is such a very important issue.
Generally speaking, as the rugby player, Pablo Ferritto says, players should make gym all year round, because they have to ensure their volume, their power and their resistance forces. When there is a competition, players have to train speed and reaction skills. They have to run short distances, but with plenty of dynamism.
Anyway, all depends on the position in the field. Ferritto states that rugby requires the following positions: forwards, scrum half and three-quarters.
For example, three-quarters train speed skills and meanwhile forwards train resistance taking into account they are clash forces. On the other hand, if anyone fails, it will mean the team failure because rugby is a team game.
In a nutshell, you can’t forget the feeding side - Ferritto explains. As a rule, you see a sports’ doctor with a nutritionist, and they set the weight you have to reach, according to your training program and competitions. Obviously, you have to consider, your body type, position and how you waste energy on your daily life.
