It found that the average body mass index (BMI) of the 62 rugby players studied was 23.4, which is in the pre-obese range according to WHO guidelines, though considered healthy based on body fat percentages. On average, the players had a bleep test level of 7 and shuttle level of 5, with a VO2max of 37.94 L/min.
