Fatigue resistance - A Young Players Perspective

1. Fatigue Resistance – A Young Player’s Perspective

2. Practical programme implications - key exercise
characteristics
Progressively overload with volume

3. What Does This Look Like?
Peripheral Tactics
• Task Specific Musculature – Has
to be in the areas they use and
fatigue in during game
• Inter Set Rest Periods – Do this
to maintain intensity of ‘pulses’
• High Intensities – Need this to
get the blood flow pushing
against capillary walls
• Short work durations (5s-20s)
• Positive W:R
Central Tactics
• Recruit as much as you can, it
doesn’t matter from where
• Rest periods just long enough
to maintain work intensity but
not too long for HR to recover
too much
• Medium Intensities – Enough
to accumulate mins >85% HR
• Long work durations (40s-90s)
• Negative W:R

4. Long Term Picture
• Which qualities do we need to develop??
• What is going to stop this player progressing
through the pathway??
• What is the ‘cost’ of this training??
• Is this the ‘right’ time to expose them to this kind
of training??
• Are they already getting this in the rugby??
• Can we be more efficient with our training??
