I would like to know if there is anyone attempting to find if the amateur rugby players, even of a young age, are more likely to have high blood pressure and dyslipidemia, since they have higher body fat percentages than professional athletes and athletes of other sports.
During a recente research I occasionally identified high levels of BP in amateur rugby players and would like to know if is there anyone with the same concerns and ideas.
Thank you Luís! My assumption is based on empirical observation of my pre-competitive medical assessment of rugby players. Maybe the best way to deepen this subject would be by collecting data regarding BP assessment during pre-competitive exams. I noticed that you are a Professor at UTAD and I've read your papers concerning many aspects of rugby, so do you have access to first-tier teams in Portugal? Currently I'm working as Head of MD of Academica.
Maybe we could join forces in order to understand if there's any relevant aspect regarding rugby player's BP!
Kind regards,
António
