Intervention(s) planned
Study setting: sports village, army cantonment, Panagoda.
Participants meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be allocated to the two study arms using a computer generated random number table.
Principal investigator will know the participants of intervention and control groups but data collectors will be blinded.
The intervention group will complete a core stability training programme as follows: 10 minutes of warm up, 5 minutes of stretches and 30 minutes of core stability exercises (Basic Plank, One arm plank, Side Plank, One arm side plank, Supine Bridge, Single leg supine bridge, Abdominal crunch, Russian twist, Split leg scissors). Core stability training program will be conducted 3 days per week for a 12-week period during week days (Monday, Wednesday, Friday). The intervention group will also carry out their normal rugby training as usual during the intervention period. Principal investigator will do the training for rugby players in the intervention groups with the help of the trainer and the coach.
Training for the two groups will be conducted in two different locations.
Same trainer will train both groups. Trainers and coaches will be educated on the purpose of the study and specific advices will be given to them to avoid the control group from following the core stability training exercises which are being conducted on the intervention group.
The control group will only follow the normal rugby training programme which includes, aerobic fitness training, resistance training (for strength and power development), speed and agility sessions, along with skills and tactical development sessions.
