Abstract

Abstract: The rules of rugby sevens are similar to rugby union, while it has a smaller number of players and enjoys higher popularity and has become an official event of Summer Olympic Games. Our research reveals that: (1) International rugby sevens players are tall, heavy and low in body fat. (2) Rugby sevens players have the speed and endurance of team sport players and the strength of combat players. Repeated sprint is an important index to evaluate players' energy supply. (3) The running distance in international matches for males and females players is 96-121 m/min and 87-103 m/min respectively. High intensity running ability is the index to measure player's performance. (4) The differences between rugby sevens players at different levels mainly lie in their running ability and agility. International players show difference in position, and the running rability of guards is better than forwards. In the future, we should strengthen the measurement of the form, function and quality of rugby sevens to build a "champion model" on one hand. And on the other hand, we should strengthen monitoring match load and training load to improve the combination of competition and training.

Key words: rugby sevens, kinematics, morphology, physiology
