While predominantly played in Ireland, it is recognized in North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Australasia. Its high-velocity, multidirectional, and high physical contact elements expose players to a risk of injury. To date, prospective injury data for Gaelic football has been of short duration.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Purpose:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To describe the incidence and nature of sport-related injuries in elite male Gaelic football players over 4 consecutive seasons.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Study Design:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Descriptive epidemiology study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Over the period 2007 to 2010, a total of 851 Gaelic football players were tracked. Players were members of county-level teams who volunteered to be included in the study. Team injury, training, and match play data were submitted by the team physiotherapist on a weekly basis through a dedicated web portal to the National Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) injury database. Injury was defined using a time loss criterion, in accordance with consensus statements in sports applicable to Gaelic games.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 1014 Gaelic football injuries were recorded. Incidence of injury was 4.05 per 1000 hours of football training. Match-play injury rates were 61.86 per 1000 hours. Muscle was the most frequently injured tissue (42.6%) and fractures accounted for 4.4% of Gaelic football injuries. Lower extremity injuries predominated (76.0%). Hamstring injuries were the single most common injury overall, representing almost one quarter (24%) of all injuries and over half of muscle injuries. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries accounted for 13% of knee injuries. The majority of injuries were defined as new injuries (74.7%), with recurrent injuries constituting 23% of all injuries. The majority (59%) of match play injuries occurred in the second half of the match. Eighty six percent of injuries caused over one week\u2019s absence from play.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings illustrate injury patterns in Gaelic football using a prospective methodology, over 4 consecutive seasons. Comparison with published literature suggests that Gaelic football match play injury risk is greater than soccer but less than rugby union.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546512455315","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,8,9]],"date-time":"2012-08-09T23:00:52Z","timestamp":1344553252000},"page":"2113-2120","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":92,"title":["Incidence of Injury in Gaelic Football"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"John C.","family":"Murphy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Gaelic Athletic Association, Medical Scientific and Player Welfare Committee, Dublin, Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edwenia","family":"O\u2019Malley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health, Physiotherapy and Population Science, University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Conor","family":"Gissane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St Mary\u2019s University College, Twickenham, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catherine","family":"Blake","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health, Physiotherapy and Population Science, University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,8,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0363546512455315","volume-title":"Statistics With Confidence","author":"Altman DG","year":"2000","edition":"2"},{"key":"bibr2-0363546512455315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.2011.084038.76"},{"key":"bibr3-0363546512455315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/00007256-200636060-00001"},{"key":"bibr4-0363546512455315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.2005.018135"},{"key":"bibr5-0363546512455315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.2005.018408"},{"key":"bibr6-0363546512455315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546505286022"},{"key":"bibr7-0363546512455315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0029-1243646"},{"key":"bibr8-0363546512455315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.34.2.104"},{"key":"bibr9-0363546512455315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.2010.079905"},{"key":"bibr10-0363546512455315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.2009.060582"},{"issue":"10","key":"bibr11-0363546512455315","first-page":"333","volume":"102","author":"El-Gohary Y","year":"2009","journal-title":"Ir Med J"},{"key":"bibr12-0363546512455315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jsams.2006.02.009"},{"key":"bibr13-0363546512455315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.2007.037267"},{"key":"bibr14-0363546512455315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.2005.025270"},{"key":"bibr15-0363546512455315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.2008.047035"},{"key":"bibr16-0363546512455315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.2006.033282"},{"key":"bibr17-0363546512455315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jsams.2006.02.001"},{"key":"bibr18-0363546512455315","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1519\/JSC.0b013e3181ddad65"},{"key":"bibr19-0363546512455315","unstructured":"Gaelic Athletic Association.
