Abstract

Rugby football is a very hard body contact sport, so players are injured very frequently. To comprehend the fact of injuries and disorders of rugby football players, we sent out questionnaire to players in high school. Results showed that 115 of 144 players suffered injuries and that 54 had disorders in playing rugby football. They injured more frequently on tackling or on being tackled.
