A new sports science study is looking at the way rugby injuries affect the body.
The research looks at the connection between body composition and injury in elite level rugby players.
The Bristol Bears will use scanning equipment, located at the Children of the 90s clinic, to measure how body composition asymmetry affects the likelihood of injury for professional rugby union players.Principal investigator Dr James Morehen said: "The incidence rate for match injuries in elite senior men's Rugby Union is high in comparison to most team sports.
It is, therefore, important to research potential modifiable risk factors in rugby players to reduce this risk of injury."
