Article Synopsis
- This study investigates hip and groin pain in Gaelic games players, focusing on both male and female athletes, as older research primarily centered on elite males.
- A survey involving 775 players revealed a 54.8% prevalence of hip and groin pain, with many continuing to play, despite 33.5% experiencing recurrent pain.
- Key findings suggest that male athletes and those participating in multiple sports are more prone to hip and groin issues, while Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome (FAIS) is relatively rare in this population.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of four different inertial loads (0.025, 0.050, 0.

J Funct Morphol Kinesiol
January 2022
The purpose of this narrative review is to examine the efficacy of flywheel inertia training to increase hamstring strength. Hamstring strain injury is common in many sports, and baseline strength deficits have been associated with a higher risk of hamstring strain injury. As a result, strength and conditioning professionals actively seek additional techniques to improve hamstring strength with the aim of minimising the incidence of hamstring strain injury.

Objective: To establish within- and between-day test-retest reliability for single-leg time to stabilization (SL-TTS) following a drop-landing maneuver of 20 cm in height among a healthy cohort.
Objective: To investigate the within-day and between-day test-retest reliability of hip abduction, internal rotation, and external rotation strength measurements taken using a portable device externally stabilizing a handheld dynamometer in healthy participants.
Design: Observational study.
Setting: Institute of Technology Carlow, Ireland, a third-level education institute.

Objective: To investigate the reliability and establish validity of a new eccentric hamstring strength measurement device.
Design: A randomized double-crossover trial with intraclass correlation coefficients to analyze the outcomes. Participants attended 4 sessions, 7 days apart.
