Injury incidence and burden were similar between the men's and women's Super League. Injury prevention strategies should focus on reducing the incidence of head & knee injuries with equal and specific focus given to men's & women's players. Article: doi.org/10.1016/j.jsams.2024…

Anthony Elanga was the fastest forward in the Premier League last season with a max speed of 36.91 km/h. That was a 7.7% increase on his previous season’s best of 34.27 km/h. How does he get faster? He sprints at max speed repeatedly, with sufficient rest between reps.
