This weekend’s regional academy fixtures will see the U16s split into two teams based on “modified bio-banding”, which looks at the physical maturation of players. In a similar fashion to systems implemented in football by the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Southampton, an early pilot of bio-banding will see the use of physical maturation data to help group players into a less and more physically mature team within their regions, allowing coaches to see their players in a different set of parameters. Early work on the project saw maturation data gathered to determine what stage of their maturation they are currently in and an estimae of how tall they will be when they finish growing, a particularly important metric for positions like second row. This has resulted in the collection of over 1300 maturation profiles which has helped inform the support and programming of pathway players. Scottish Rugby has now moved a step further, investing in two SonicBone BAUSport devices which use ultrasound to assess skeletal age and biological maturation state, and provide data for injury prevention and prediction of final adult height of youth athletes.
