The core of this studentship focuses on the complex relationship between fat-free mass development, body composition, and physiological performance indicators such as strength, acceleration, and sprint momentum. You will evaluate how practitioners can effectively optimise body composition without compromising the explosive physical qualities required in professional rugby league.
