  Abstract:  VIEW PDF: AGGRESSIVENESS IN RUGBY

In the present study we analyse the phenomenon of aggressiveness in rugby, of violence and aggressiveness in sport and we conclude with some suggestions. In rugby, aggressiveness and violence are permitted by regulations. They are considered to be educational and training purposes and they involve a fundamental contradiction: playing, fighting to the finish without becoming destructive. From an amateur sport rugby has become a professional one. It is not surprising that aggressiveness and violence are sometimes witnessed in rugby like in any sport. The suppression of violence, which stems from the environment, does not happen without influencing the environment. Perhaps today’s society is the framework that supports sport. On the rugby pitch, battle is the art of producing aggressive energy. The key is to know how to use it. How spontaneous one should be? To what degree? How to play smart? Being a fighter in rugby means to harness aggressive energy only within the limits of regulations. Coaches, tutors, teachers, players and spectators should all be aware of these factors.

Key Words: rugby, aggressiveness, violence, fighting, destructive.
