Anaerobic

RugbyMax helps you develop high-powered endurance

Sprinting, tackling, scrummaging, rucking, mauling, driving forward; these fundamentals all require anaerobic endurance.  Because these movements are explosive, they draw down from two high energy systems which can only work for short periods of time.  The most powerful is the ATP, creatine phosphate system.  It can only provide very short bursts.  The second uses glucose and when that kicks in, you start to get lactic acid build up which diminishes performance and leads to failing co-ordination and cramp.  

There are two interventions rugby players can call on to improve that vital anaerobic fitness.  Firstly, high-intensity interval training and drills.  Secondly, rugby performance nutrition.

RugbyMax can help delay the onset of lactic acid fatigue by helping to buffer against it.  This ensures that the system of sodium and potassium pumping in your nerves and muscles doesn’t readily deteriorate so that you can concentrate and act quickly.  Concentration and reaction time are the most noticeable thing to go in players that are fatigued.  RugbyMax buffering system helps players push harder in training and recover better, and also help to mitigate against lactic acid build up: a twin pronged approach on endurance.
