Plantar pressure is related to injuries in the lower extremities, and can be influenced by certain individual factors. However, the pressures of complex but important actions in team sports, such as rugby scrum, have not yet been analyzed. The aim of the study was to examine whether there is a relationship between plantar pressure and individual factors such as age, height, weight or foot size during the rugby scrum gesture. The plantar pressures of 24 men and 20 women, all healthy rugby players, were recorded using the BioFoot® system, during various scrum situations. Positive correlations were found with weight, height and foot height (rho> 0.33 and p <0.05), especially in the forefoot and toes area. These results can serve to better understand the behavior of plantar pressure in a gesture that has not been studied so far.
