In their first competition, rugby players used to use it as a training drill most clubs still use It as a training drill even know it’s a real sport but it’s a great way to get the team moving up and down in sink and to get them fit without the players injuring each other. I have chosen the centres and wingers to compare. Fitness components and fitness testing centre the important components for fitness for a centre are Body Size, Strength, Skill and Technique, Endurance, Power, Speed, Agility, Flexibility, Balance and Coordination. body size= if you have a smaller lighter body you have more of a chance to run around the bigger not as agile players. strength= if your mental strength is there then you won’t give up on a play so you gain ground instead of losing ground. endurance= to out run the other team so you can out run them with your fitness.
Power= to be able to get to their top speed faster to try get through the defence. speed= to be able to run away from a defence chancing you down. agility= to try step the other players to try get around. flexibility= to prove injury and to recover after training and games better. balance= to be able to doge the other players without falling over. coordination= to throw your players great passes to give them the best chance of them getting through the defence. Skill and Technique= great passing, being able to step players and to know the plays that the captain calls. Winger body size= if you have a smaller lighter body you have more of a chance to run around the bigger players which is great for a winger. strength= if your mental strength is there then you won’t give up on a play so you gain ground instead of losing ground. endurance= to out run the other team so you can out run them with your fitness. power= to be able to get to their top speed faster to try get through the defence.

Centres would do beep tests and the wings would do more explosive tests. Centre Beep test Push up test and sit up test for muscular endurance.
