🆕 #OriginalResearch

This study provides new insights into the mental health and well-being of a diverse group of rugby players 🏉

👉 Over 50% of participants self-reported that rugby impacted ‘extremely’ positively on both their mental health and well-being

👉 Male, amateur and non-contact players had lower scores of psychological distress compared with their female, professional and contact-playing counterparts, respectively

👉 Non-contact rugby players were also found to have higher levels of well-being than contact rugby players
