Abstract

During the physical preparation of National Rugby Teams U19 and U20 between July 2002 and June 2004 we had registered a casuistic which confirms the results of specialized literature regarding morbidity through traumas of athletes. Inferior member is the most frequently affected member (46%) and the soft parts of body traumas are the most common, usual. This article is trying to systemize the causes of the large incidence of sportive traumas during the rugby training and competitions.

To facilitate a quick and synthetic presentation of medical events during a competition or training we could use a protocol report that we will present at the end of this paper. (This protocol is adapted by the one agreed by International Rugby Board and International Amatory Rugby Federation- European Rugby Association).

Key words:

trauma, rugby, report protocol
