Rugby union has a lot of cash - therefore they do a lot of research! Here is a study looking at an injury prevention warm up.

Results:

• Injury prevention programme resulted in beneficial reductions in lower-limb injuries and concussion.

• The higher the consistency, the greater reduction in injury incidence.

Injury prevention exercises included:

• Lunge and reach

• Heel to toe walk with knee hug

• Single leg balance with eyes closed

• Isometric shoulder abduction

• Bent hip Nordic curl

• Ankle pogos

• Double hop and stop

• Push-up plus variant

• Shoulder walkouts

Great to see a few of the ones we use in our own training in this mix!
