The relationship between the bunkie-test and physical performance in rugby union players
(Die Beziehung zwischen dem Bunkie-Test und der körperlichen Leistungsfähigkeit von 15er-Rugby-Spielern)
It is suggested that restrictions in the fascia along the kinetic chains could inhibit muscle function and therefore influence movement patterns, such as those required by skilled rugby players. The Bunkie-test has been proposed as a tool to identify fascia restrictions in five kinetic chains. The purpose of this study was to use the isometric Bunkie-test to determine its relationship with performance in selected physical tests (agility, speed, explosive power, and muscle endurance) in rugby union players. The participants (n = 121) were rugby union players from three academies. Results indicated significant relationships between performance in the Bunkie-test and in the physical tests.
