IMPACT - Injury prevention program for amateur rugby.

The IMPACT program is a tool developed in conjunction with the Suisse Rugby Medical commission and under the initiative of Gaetan Hirsch to be used by educators and coaches. The excercices of the program are in alignment with a healthy life style and can decrease the injury rate by 30 to 50%. In order to achieve this reduction in injuries, the program is designed for two training sessions per week, as a warm-up on the pitch. After the setting period (2-3 weeks), the program should take about 10 minutes. This IMPACT program also develops individual physical capacities such as strength, agility, coordination, and speed.
