Abstract
Impact of Lower-extremity Strength on Shoulder Tackle of Female Rugby Players Measured with Sensor System
Highlights
In China, rugby is an emerging sport compared with other traditional sports and its foundations are still weak
On the basis of these findings, it is suggested that [1] the lower-extremity isokinetic strengths of the front knee and back ankle in dominant-side tackles should be used as indexes to evaluate shoulder tackle ability, and [2] the balanced development of lower-extremity strength can help athletes enhance the defensive capacity of shoulder tackles, promote technical learning, improve the stability of actions, and prevent sports injuries
Our results provide a theoretical reference for the specialized strength training, technical learning, and sports injury prevention of Chinese rugby players and provide evidence for relevant research on rugby sports as part of their promotion in China
Summary
In China, rugby is an emerging sport compared with other traditional sports and its foundations are still weak. In the 2018–2019 World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series (USA), the rugby games between the Chinese team and the USA, England, and New Zealand teams were characterized by high failure rates of shoulder tackles of 45, 55, and 80%, far exceeding those of the opponents of 30, 20, and 8%, respectively. This comparison directly revealed that a major current technical shortcoming of the women’s national team is the weak defensive ability of shoulder tackles. The national team urgently needs research results on improving defensive techniques, especially those on shoulder tackle actions, to facilitate sports training, solve practical problems, and enhance the defensive ability and overall competitiveness of the team
