Due to COVD-19, Asian rugby players are unable to practice or play in teams. In December 2020, the Japan Rugby Football Union (JRFU) exchanged ideas via online with rugby players from Asia Rugby, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Hong Kong, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria, and Central Asian countries.

Coaches and athletes have asked us to provide an online training program that allows them to maintain their physical strength and acquire rugby skills in the COVID-19 crisis environment. In response to that, we made circuit training videos that incorporates programs such as core training, flexibility, and heavy circuit exercise that they can do in the comfort of their homes. The video consisted of 30 events and 12 patterns, to maintain their current physique, prevent injuries and provide athletes with proper warm up and recover techniques.

On February 14, an online circuit training class was held with hands-on period using video content. More than 250 athletes and coaches from Asian countries participated, learned how to self-train, and then trained together in a 45-minute training session. Lecturers are Takashi Kikutani (former captain of Japan national rugby team), Hirotoki Onozawa (former Japan national rugby team player), and Tomohiro Usui (former Sunwolves Strength & Conditioning Coach) of Bring Up Rugby Academy.

Feedback from Participant :

Comments from Mr. Shakir (Pakistan):
The circuit training was very interesting and the discussions with the instructors and participants were very exciting. I actually experienced circuit training for 45 minutes and it was very easy to understand. I look forward to participating in the training again if I have the opportunity.
Comments fromMr. Noel (Philippines):
The 30 items of strength training and movement are very effective programs and can be combined in various ways. I think it is a program that can meet the demands of all athletes, from beginners to advanced athletes. Not only does it help you move to a rugby game, but I think it's a functional and excellent workout alternative to gym workouts.
