“Provide physical exercise and training prescription for the purpose of reducing risk of injury and increase
performance, via systematic and evidence based practice. It is within the responsibilities of the strength and
conditioning professionals to determine training objectives, perform need analysis, develop training plan,
develop training program, do performance monitoring, determine effectiveness and perform modification for
further enhancement”
(Nur Ikhwan Mohamad, Ali Md. Nadzalan & Muhamad Hafiz Zainol, 2019)(7)

“Match Analysis and Temporal Patterns of Fatigue in Rugby Sevens: The mean total distance covered throughout
matches was 1,221 ± 118 m (first half = 643 ± 70 m and second half = 578 ± 77 m; with a decrease of 11.2%, p > 0.05,
Effect Size [ES] = 0.29). The players achieved 88.3 ± 4.2 and 87.7 ± 3.4% of the HRmax during the first and second
halves, respectively. The BLa for the first and second halves was 3.9 ± 0.9 and 11.2 ± 1.4 mmol·L−1, respectively. The
decreases in performance occurred consistently in the final 3 minutes of the matches (−40.5% in the distance covered

per minute)” (3)
“Backs and forwards had an average HR of approximately 80% of their maximum (162 ± 11 and 165 ± 12 b·min−1, respectively). Backs achieved greater maximum
running speed (8.6 ± 0.7 m·s−1),
completed a greater number of sprints (18 ± 6), had less time between sprints (3.2 ± 1.1 minutes), achieved a greater total duration of sprinting (44.7 ± 9.1 seconds),
and covered more distance sprinting (321 ± 74 m) than forwards did (6.8 ± 0.7 m·s−1, 11 ± 5, 5.2 ± 2.2 minutes, 25.8 ± 9.2 seconds, and 153 ± 38 m, respectively) “ (2)
