A modified prebind engagement process reduces biomechanical loading on front row players during scrummaging
Aims: Biomechanical studies of the rugby union scrum have typically been conducted using instrumented scrum machines, but a large-scale biomechanical analysis of live contested scrummaging is lacking. We investigated whether the...
