Abstract

Our scoping review was the first ‘big picture’ review to identify the relationships between rugby union, and health and well-being. Data suggest that all forms of rugby union (contact, non-contact and wheelchair) can provide moderate to vigorous physical activity, and can contribute to non-sedentary time, both of which have a raft of associated health and well-being benefits.1 National population surveys also consider rugby union as an activity that can provide muscle-strengthening/balance improvement when accrued for period of over 10 minutes,2 and ‘ball sports’ are generally considered to improve muscle function, bone health and balance.3
