Introduction to Health & Welfare for Women & Girls in Rugby
This section of the WRU Game Locker is a dedicated space, providing a range of resources covering aspects of health and welfare that women & girl rugby players, their coaches, and club volunteers should consider when planning to take part in any rugby related activity.
These resources provide information on these topics as well as helpful tips and guides for individuals to manage their health and welfare, alongside the physical demands of rugby.
There are some factors specific to women and girls in rugby which may impact their participation and performance due to differences in anatomy, physiology and hormones between sexes. Specifically this includes:
- Menstrual cycle
- Menopause
- Breast Health
- Pelvic health and incontinence
- Pregnancy & Postpartum
- Injury prevention
These supportive resources have been produced with guidance from experts in Swansea University and the Wales Senior National Women’s Team.
