The purpose of this study is to determine the sensitivity of a potential to strain measure to acute training load accumulated over the weeks, during a competitive period among Malaysia Rugby (MR) players. Twenty-eight (n=28) elite Malaysia Rugby 15's players completed eight-weeks training program [six weeks of intensive training (IT) and two weeks of reduced training (RT)]. During the process, Bronco speed-endurance test were administered at before (TO), after (T1), and after the RT (T2) phase. The session’s Rating of Perceived Exertion (SRPE) was used to quantify the perceived training load and strain during each training session. Wellness questionnaire was used to determine player's daily wellness level. Results showed that higher Acute-Chronic Workload Ratio (ACWR) during first and second week of training, and slightly reduced before entering pre competition phase and its followings week (competition phase). Bronco test result indicated significant improvement starting.....

TheAsia Rugby Men's Championship (ARMC) is a well-known platform for rugby teams in the area to exhibit their abilities and compete on an international level. The tournament's physical and psychological strains on competitors may have consequences for their overall health. The purpose of this study is to look at the training load and the acute-to-chronic workload ratio (ACWR) and to evaluate the wellness on the Malaysia Rugby squad during the Asia Rugby Men's Championship 2023. The study enlisted the participa-tion  of  30  Malaysia  Rugby  squad  members.  Throughout  the  competition,  training  load  data  such  as  session  time,  session  rating of perceived exertion (sRPE), and numerous wellness indicators such as fatigue, sleep quality, mood, muscular soreness, and stresslevel were thoroughly evaluated. The ACWR was determined by dividing the chronic workload rolling average by the acute workload rolling average. The data demonstrated differences in training lo.....
