Rugby Lineout Elevation Test: Apex Height and Time-to-Peak as a Selection Tool
Two jumpers post the same combine vertical, but only one wins clean lineout ball. Measure apex height and time-to-peak in the lift, with protocol and norms.
Rugby Scrum Push Force Measurement: A Scrum-Machine Load-Cell Protocol for Peak vs Sustained Force
A scrum machine reading one number hides the real story. Split engagement peak from sustained push force with a load-cell protocol, ratios, and cutoffs.
Sprint Momentum vs. Velocity: What Actually Predicts Collision Success
Rugby and football research shows sprint momentum, not raw speed, separates starters from reserves. How to test it and train the right qualities by position.
How to Build Functional Strength for Rugby: Collisions, Scrums, and Rotational Power
47% of rugby injuries occur in collisions, and 10%+ asymmetry quadruples that risk. This 12-week plan builds strength, power, and symmetry via 800Hz IMU.
Rugby Tackle Strength and Contact Preparation
Science-based tackle strength and contact preparation program for rugby players. Protocols, force norms, and VBT monitoring to build collision-ready.
Rugby Scrum Force Production: Biomechanics and Training
Rugby scrum force production: biomechanics, leg drive, pack binding, VBT programming, and PoinT GO monitoring for front row and loose forwards.
Rugby Tackle Strength Program: Contact Power and Durability
Elite rugby tacklers generate over 4,000N of impact force. This 8-week program builds the posterior chain, neck, and explosive contact mechanics to match.
