Muscles all around the body are used to power through somebodies thighs and smash them to the ground. The main muscles used are probably:

  • Shoulders
  • Triceps (if pulling down on victims shirt)
  • Abs
  • Wrist Muscles
  • Quadriceps
  • Calf's
  • General Muscles around the Thigh.

Hope this has helped! =)

The Rugby scrum requires the use of several major muscle groups. The most notable ones are the abdominal muscles, the back muscles, the hamstrings, quadriceps and the calves. Contrary to a common belief, upper body muscles are not very important in the scrum.

Upper body. Pecs, lats, traps, biceps, triceps, deltiods. Lower body. Hams, quads, gastrocnemius. Rugby uses virtually every muscle.

The major muscles used in this game would have to be bicep/tricep for when your throwing and your quadriceps/hamstrings, gastrocnemius because the main thing about Netball is to run and jump.

the top back leg muscules are used in a scrum as well as your top arm muscules. and these are used again when takling and the top front muscules are used to sprint up and down the pitch.
