Abstract
The intermittent movement, collision and skill components of professional rugby league match play require players to have a wide range of physical (e.g. repeated effort ability, speed) and technical qualities (e.g. passing, kicking, tackling ability) to attain successful competitive performance. To induce varied adaptations, practitioners manipulate the fundamental training principles (e.g. intensity, duration and type) to concurrently prescribe multiple modes such as small-sided games (SSG), technical-tactical and sprint training. For large proportions of the calendar year, this prescription must also be considered within an individual’s time-course of recovery following the load imposed by competition. As a result, ensuring the appropriate concurrent prescription of multiple modes of training poses a complex challenge for practitioners due to the need to balance an appropriate variance in training load that maximises training induced adaptations in a wide range of physical and technical qualities whilst also minimising negative outcomes (e.g. injury incidence).
