note = "Rugby is a contact sport where there are numerous
injuries. As we know sports injuries have a high economic
cost and directly affect to the performance of the team.
Therefore, the purpose of this investigation is to
determine the incidence, severity and nature of the
injuries suffered during the second round of the 2016-2017
season of a team that belongs to the senior Basque Rugby
League, with 30 players. Descriptive and longitudinal
study. The methodology and procedure was the protocol of
data collection, was established in the consensus document
prepared by the Injury Consensus Group through the
International Rugby Board. The measures taken included age
(years), height (cm), body mass (kg), players position of
play, incidence at the group level (injuries/1000
players-hours), severity (days-absence), location (%), type
(%) ... injury by matches and trainings. The statistical
method used has been descriptive and inferential, using
Chi-square for the comparison of groups of the categorical
variables and analysis of the variance (ANOVA) for the
comparison of means, it was considered that the results
were statistically significant, when the p was less than
0.005 . The results obtained, the incidence of the injury
was 86.1 injuries per match/1000 player match hours
(forwards: 104.9, backs: 64.3) and 1.9 training
injuries/1000 hours of player training (front: 2.5, bakcs:
1.1). The average severity of injuries was 10.8 days of
absence during games. Among the conclusions highlight that
the incidence, the nature and the causes associated with
the injuries per game were greater in forwards than in
backs and similar to the professional rugby leagues.",
