Revolutionising Training

New technological developments have led to a revolution in rugby training, especially for professional rugby players. The cryogenic chamber is one of these new technological developments.  In the chamber the recipient receives bursts of nitrogen gas at thirty second increments. The freezing gas surrounds the body forces your blood to retreat to protect the body’s vital organs. This process puts your body into a survival mode and fills the blood with oxygen. When stepping out of the cryogenic chamber the blood will immediately rush back into the body’s arms and legs, giving the body a warm sensation, meaning the process is working

Author: Alex McLachlan  Tackling is one of the most vital parts of Rugby. Younger players must realise that tackling is not about your strength and size or the strength and size of the opposing players, but rather the technique that you have. The ideal tackle will see the tackler have their foot close to the body of the opposition player. The tacklers shoulder should come into contact with the waist of the opposition, this is an important step as using hands and jersey grabbing is a very ineffectual way to tackle and it increases the chances of you breaking your finger. Finally, when tackling you should always end up on top of the tackled player. Here is a video you can follow to help guide you with your form!
