A Video Analysis of Suspected Injuries and Suspected Concussions in Elite Ladies Gaelic Football Matches.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous research shows that injuries are prevalent in ladies Gaelic football. However, little is known about how these injuries occur (ie, the mechanism of injury). In addition, there are limited data on injuries sustained during elite-level matches. Concussions are also a key concern, yet research has examined solely self-reported suspected concussions, and it remains unclear how potential concussions are identified and managed during matches.

Objective

To establish the incidence, characteristics, and management of suspected injuries and concussions in elite ladies Gaelic football matches.

Design

Cross-sectional video analysis study.

Level of evidence

Level 3.

Methods

A video coding framework was developed based on similar published studies
