Injury & Judiciary Reports

In my limited view we are (NRL) probably pushing up against the envelope of trying to increase physical fitness and strength with the limits of the physical body.
Being a ~95kg player who also has to have the motor to go for 90 minutes is a really fine balance. The calves actually sustain the most load when running …..

Running places high demands on the calf complex regardless of running speed. During the early to mid-stance phase of running (i.e. when the foot is on the ground) the gastrocnemius and soleus can be loaded upwards of 1.9 and 6.7 times bodyweight respectively
