Description
Jump training for rugby players is weighed in a 2026 review by Javier Russell-Guzmán and co-authors. Leaping skill links to tackle wins and ruck work in rugby. Bounce-based jump drills are known to build burst power in many sports, but rugby proof is thin. The team searched four data banks for trials of at least two weeks with a jump test.
Seven studies with 178 male players passed the checks. Drills lifted sprint speed, change of path, burst power, and leg spring traits. Jump height gains swung by study, though jump power rose on soft ground. More strong trials are needed, the team says.
