Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The Tokyo rugby club keeping elderly players healthy
Originated in England in the 19th century, rugby is a high-impact sport played by two teams of 15 players. Rugby is played mainly in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth, and an estimated global following of 475 Million people. International matches have taken place since 1871, and this year, The Rugby World Cup is hosted in Japan.
Since it is a high-impact sport, Rugby is usually played by young, well-built youths and adults, both men and women. But in Japan, where its population is aging at an unprecedented speed, there is a number of senior citizens who enjoy playing this high-impact sport. In fact, there are 150 clubs that stage competitive matches for players above the age of 40 in Japan and one of them have three rugger who are older than 90. Interestingly, those super senior rugby players seem to enjoy the sport very much despite the risk of injuries or even a heart attack.
In Japan, such active seniors who enjoy the sports and habits they used to do are called return something. Return surfers, return skiers, and return motorcycle riders (especially big bikes) are just a few examples. Many of them are now free from family or business obligations and ready to enjoy what they really want to do. They have time and money, the most essential resources to have fun.
Enjoy seeing the photos of active Japanese senior ruggers.
