Rugby League as a Televised Product in the United States of America By Mike Morris Abstract Rugby league is a form of rugby that is more similar to American football than its more globally popular cousin rugby union. This similarity to the United States of America’s most popular sport, that country’s appetite for sport, and its previous acceptance of foreign sports products makes rugby league an attractive product for American media outlets to present and promote. Rugby league’s history as a working-class sport in England and Australia will appeal to American consumers hungry for grit and authenticity from their favorite athletes and teams.

  • Impact Case Study (Ref3b) Page 1 Institution: University of Chester
    Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: University of Chester Unit of Assessment: 26 Sport and Exercise Sciences, Leisure and Tourism Title of case study 2: Managing fatigue and recovery in team sports 1. Summary of the impact The main applied outcomes of this body of research have been: (i) changes to training, competition and between-match practices at St Helens and Warrington Wolves Super League clubs, and in Rugby Football League (RFL) generally, and England Handball Association; (ii) the development of appropriate monitoring strategies to manage player health, well-being and performance capability; and, (iii) the development of player and coach education resources. 2. Underpinning research The initial research underpinning this impact case study was carried out between 2004 and 2012 and continues to the present day in the research of on-going PGR projects. The research evaluated player recovery after matches and the effect on subsequent match performance during intensified competition. Neuromuscular, biochemical and perceptual responses were measured in elite and sub-elite players in the days after a single match and during intensified competition (three representative matches in five days). In addition, match performance characteristics were measured using global positioning technology and video analysis. After a single match, creatine kinase, muscle soreness and sensations of fatigue were higher for up to two days in both forwards and backs. Neuromuscular function was lower on day one but not day two for both groups. Collisions for forwards were correlated with all markers of fatigue but only neuromuscular function was correlated with offensive contacts in backs. During intensified matches, upper and lower body neuromuscular function, perceived fatigue and creatine kinase deteriorated as the competition progressed.
