Abstract

The purpose of this study was to obtain the basic data on domestic Rugby football players. Thirty players, ages of 18〜24 (mean=20.9±1.17), were evaluated for lower limb muscular strength, physical and performance characteristics in Kyushu collegiate rugby football league.　All results were compared Division I (high-ranking, n=15, height ; 172.9±5.24cm, weight ; 75.1±8.39kg) with Division II (low-ranking, n=15, 174.0±4.1 5cm, 76.2±11.42kg). There were significant differences in the lower limb muscular strength (peak torque value adjusted for body weight), lower limb muscular endurance and several performance variables. But there was no significant differences in anthropometric details. The level of competition was higher at the Division I level and superior speed and strength were valued attributes. So it would be suggested effectiveness and importance of weight training on Rugby football players.
