Rugby league football is played at
junior (Under 12-Under 20) and senior levels in several countries worldwide.
For players over 13 years, the game is played under the international rules. It
is a physical contact sport lasting between 60-80 minutes (depending on the
standard of competition), during which players are subjected to high impact
collisions, frequent intense bouts of running and tackling interspersed with
short bouts of recovery.
Players are required to have a highly developed level
of strength, power, speed and agility, as well as both aerobic and anaerobic
endurance; the levels of which increase with the level of competition. Further,
the coordination of neuromuscular tasks including power, speed, strength into
functional movements with appropriate psychological skills including pattern
recognition, decision-making, dual-task and anticipation within the game are
the key factors underpinning success.
