Synopsis

On the eve of Rugby Union's second World Cup, this book provides a guide to fitness training for the game at senior level, from club to international player, and in all positions from prop forward to full-back. There are chapters on endurance, strength and power, flexibility and speed, also advice on fitness work with the ball, on structuring and implementing a training programme on a year-round basis, and on setting and using a range of fitness tests. All this is set against a full consideration of the changing demands of the game itself in the 1990s. This book carries the approval of the Rugby Football Union and bears the England rose.
