Abstract in brief

  • The study tested a movement control exercise program in schoolboy rugby to see if it could reduce injuries, especially concussions, among players aged 14-18.
  • Results showed unclear effects on overall injury rates, but the program significantly lowered the incidence of concussions and injuries when players completed at least three sessions weekly.
  • The findings suggest that a preventive exercise routine can help decrease injury risks in youth rugby, with better results seen when players consistently follow the program.]
