Methodology for Improving Endurance and Tackling Techniques of Rugby Players Through Combat Sports Methods

Аннотация

This article highlights the methodological foundations of using martial arts elements to develop endurance, one of the functional physical qualities of athletes engaged in rugby, and to improve tackling techniques, which are crucial in the game process. In the specially designed training complex for rugby players, techniques from combat sports such as sambo, judo, and kurash are selectively chosen, which serve to develop not only physical endurance but also skills such as stability in contact situations, holding the opponent, and maintaining balance. Keywords: General and specific endurance, rugby, means, methods, functional processes, motor abilities, fatigue, strength, speed. Introduction: At the current stage of modern sports METHODOLOGY development, physical fitness and the formation of From this perspective, developing and applying a specific skills in sports that demand strength, methodology that incorporates elements of combat endurance, speed, and technical-tactical superiority— sports into rugby training is one of the current tasks of such as rugby—have become particularly significant. modern sports methodology. Rugby's unique physical demands—frequent collisions, Research Objective: tackling opponents, and withstanding powerful impacts—require athletes to be prepared not only for To theoretically justify and develop a methodology for high levels of endurance but also for technical stability. improving specific endurance in adolescent rugby players based on their playing positions. Endurance allows a rugby player to stay active throughout the match, move without losing speed, Object of the Research: resist counter-actions, and maintain their position. The training process of 16–17-year-old adolescents Additionally, the technique of tackling an opponent engaged in rugby. plays a decisive role in ensuring tactical superiority Subject of the Research: during the game. These techniques are often based on The methodology for developing specific endurance in elements of combat sports and require accuracy, 16–17-year-old adolescent rugby players, depending balance, strength, and coordinated movements from on their playing positions. the athlete. Research Tasks: This study explores the potential of effectively developing endurance and tackling skills in rugby To conduct a theoretical analysis of scientific and players by integrating technical and tactical elements methodological literature on the research topic. characteristic of combat sports—such as sambo, judo, To develop the content of an experimental and wrestling—into rugby training sessions. It is methodology for developing specific endurance in scientifically substantiated that the use of combat sport adolescent rugby players based on their playing methods can help activate large muscle groups in rugby positions. players, increase psychomotor stability, and develop To test the effectiveness of the experimental safe and effective movement skills during collisions. methodology in a pedagogical setting.
