The book provides an overview of the latest scientific research for key topics related to the youth rugby player across the codes of rugby (union, league and 7's; mainly league and union in youth players) whilst also summarising the quality of the evidence available and the limitations of this research and highlighting key future research directions. The book covers a range of fundamental scientific topics relating to paediatric exercise science, human physiology, youth athletic development and high-performance sport.
