Résumé du livre
Abstract: "Rugby sevens is an abbreviated format of rugby union that will be contested at the Olympic Games from 2016. Despite a rise in the worldwide popularity and profile of rugby sevens, the technical, tactical, physical, and physiological demands of international competition are not well understood and only limited information exists on the characteristics of elite-level players. The purpose of this thesis was to quantify the requirements of international competition, identify the anthropometric, physiological, and performance characteristics of international-level players, and quantify the specificity of contemporary on-field training practices. Seven experimental studies were conducted to address these issues."
