Question im currently playing rugby! i was wondering if i run to iimprove my cardio vascular endurance and sprint to increasy my speed, whilst running do i lose muscle(strenght)???
Answer Hi Ger,
If you ONLY do that you may lose some muscle, but if you are also doing some resistance training then it should easily balance out and you will actually likely build more strength.
I am not a Rugby player myself though it looks rather fun and interesting. It also looks like strength in such a sport especially explosive strength is extremely important. I would recommend a workout that centers on plyometrics and some resistance training.
Here is a good workout for muscle building www.bmgfitness.com/workout and I would do a search for plyometric exercise on google, msn or yahoo to find good programs for that.
