Résumé : |
Rugby union (RU) is an intermittent team sport, with diverse playing positions, playedinternationally by both men and women. Considerable scientific attention has been devoted to men’s RU,however despite the growth in the women’s professional game, there is a significant lack of availablephysiological and normative data. The purpose of the present study was to investigate positional variation incountermovement jump characteristics from elite women’s RU players. Qualitative data were collected fromwomen’s Rugby World Cup (2017) competitors (n = 86; age: 27±5 years; body mass: 77.8±10.6 kg; height:1.69±0.07 cm) and jump data (countermovement jumps) were collected using a 1200 Hz force platform(n = 63). Athletes were divided into positional unit (backs: n = 39 and forwards: n = 47) and by positionalsubgroups. Backs had greater jump height (ES = 0.72, 95%CL±0.50), relative power output (ES = 0.84, 95%CL±0.50), relative force production (ES = 0.62, 95%CL±0.51) and reactive strength index (RSI; ES = 0.62,95%CL±0.50), compared to forwards (for all,P<0.02). Backrows, halves and back-three players had greaterrelative force, relative power and jump height, compared to the front and second rows (P<0.03; ES>0.70).These data could aid in programming for long-term player development in women’s RU and could haveimplications for“readiness”to compete at international level. |
