Rugby Transfer Essay

Introduction

Rugby Union, developed in Rugby School, England. Has grown over the years into a global and professional sport. The overall aim is for one team to keep possession of the ball in order to touch it down on or over the opposing teams try line. Although territory may be gained from kicking the ball forward, transfer from player to player must be lateral or backwards. Despite more advanced skills being required depending on position, the ability to spin pass a ball effectively should be attained by all players.

A Rugby spin pass is a method developed because of the need to move the ball from player to player as fast and as accurately as possible. The pass itself is a combination of longitude angular velocity, or spin, and horizontal linear velocity, these forces are provided from a number of upper body and core muscles working in synchronisation. This complex

This repetition is also responsible for certain amount of hypertrophy with in the working muscles, however hypertrophy will be limited as resistance levels are often low with high repetition, skill based training. When the required skill involves an element of throwing, powerful projectile motion is often key in the success of the skill, this allows for an element of resistance training to go alongside repetitive skill practice in a bid to increase critical instant velocity. From this knowledge over weight implement training developed, it allows athletes to complete repetition training with added resistance in a way which is entirely skill specific. Scientific evidence from this type of training is limited, and improvement cannot be attributed to exclusively training with over weight
