“…Several investigators have documented injury in hurling, with retrospective research carried out in a hospital setting 5–9. These focused on specific injuries such as the head and face,5 occular,9 hand7 and ankle 10. To date, there has been only one prospective study of injury incidence in hurling dating back to 1996 11.…”

“…There has been no previously published research on isokinetic strength after hamstring injury in gaelic footballers, despite the high prevalence of the injury. Most previous studies on gaelic footballers have been primarily concerned with the incidence of injuries [ 2 , 21 , 22 ]. The aim of this retrospective study was to determine whether significant knee muscle weakness was present among Irish male gaelic football players with a history of hamstring injury.…”

Background: Hamstring injury is one of the most common injuries affecting gaelic footballers, similar to other field sports. Research in other sports on whether residual hamstring weakness is present after hamstring injury is inconsistent, and no study has examined this factor in irish gaelic footballers. The aim of this study was to examine whether significant knee muscle weakness is present in male Irish gaelic footballers who have returned to full activity after hamstring injury.

“…4 Despite the popularity of Gaelic games, and in particular football, Gaelic football has received relatively little attention. Studies examining injuries in Gaelic football have mainly concentrated on the presentation of injuries in accident and emergency departments, [5][6][7][8] or have been carried out retrospectively. 4 Those that have been conducted prospectively have concentrated on specific injuries, such as ankle injuries.…”

Objective: To describe the injury incidence in Gaelic football. Methods: A total of 83 players from three counties were interviewed monthly about their injury experience, during the 6 months of the playing season. Results: The injury rate was 13.5/1000 h exposure to Gaelic football (95% CI, 10.9 to 16.6). There were nearly twice as many injuries during matches (64.4%, 95% CI, 54.1 to 73.6) as in training (35.6%, 95% CI, 26.4 to 49.5). The ankle was found to be the most commonly injured site (13.3%, 95% CI, 7.8 to 21.9). The musculotendinous unit accounted for nearly 1/3 of all injuries (31.1%). The tackle accounted for 27.8% of the injuries sustained (tackler 10%, 95% CI, 5.4 to 17.9; player being tackled 17.9%, 95% CI, 11.2 to 26.9). Of total match injuries, 56.9% (95% CI, 46.1 to 67.1) were experienced in the second half as opposed to 39.7% (95% CI, 29.8 to 50.5) in the first half. Conclusions: Gaelic footballers are under considerable risk of injury. Greater efforts must be made to reduce this risk so that players miss less time from sport due to injury. Risk factors for injury in Gaelic football must now be investigated so that specific interventions may be established to reduce them.
