Protecting Performance: #ReadyForRugby Support Webinar 7

The session will be a practical run through management of training load in terms of how often, how hard, how long and how much. IRFU Head of Athletic Performance & Science Nick Winkleman has also been added to the presentation team.

“As we prepare to return to rugby after a long period with no structured training, we need to protect player performance and ensure they can fully enjoy a safe return to training,” says Nicol van Dyk, the IRFU’s Injury Surveillance and Medical Research Officer. “We will discuss key considerations for coaches planning their training sessions, including training load, drills to reduce injury risk and making sure players are ready for a return to contact and competition.”

Any individual who signs up for the series will also receive a video of each webinar to watch back on their own time.
