What causes your muscle in your arm too shrink?

Muscle shrinkage, or muscle atrophy, can be caused by lack of use (such as immobilization or inactivity), nerve damage, malnutrition, aging, or certain medical conditions like ALS or muscular dystrophy. It can also occur as a result of a decrease in muscle protein synthesis or an increase in muscle protein breakdown.

How rugby performance may be improved by referring to anatomical features?

I am becoming a huge fan of rugby, so this is a fun question. I notice that very solid body types with higher weights (not overweight..just large guys) is definitely an advantage in rugby during scrums and tackles. Running, catching and kicking are areas where the lighter, taller men seem to excel. It would seem that a good rugby team has part of the line who are larger in muscle mass and heavier to help to win scrums and for good, solid defensive lines and good tackles, but there are also some taller, lighter men who handle the ball better in passing and running.
