Current concepts on the development of the force-speed capacity of performance rugby players

Abstract

In this article is addressed the current issue on the development of force-speed capacity in the game of rugby. The main condition for practicing performance rugby is force-speed training. Muscle increases as a result of high intensity efforts, while volume-based efforts have insignificant effects. Some sports training specialists consider that the development of combined force-speed motor qualities is one of the most important aspects of training and covers all segments. The training of players for competition, through the specific complexity of sports games, is another factor that favors the increase of the training efficiency. Within a group, a team, the interrelationships between the individuals are not always synergistically coordinated, which amplifies the complexity of the training. The periodization of the training and the planning of the effort within it will take into account the organizational realities of the training and the competition system, aiming to achieve maximum performance in accordance with the objectives proposed.
