High-Intensity Accelerations and Decelerations During Intercounty Camogie Match Play.

Background: This study aimed to compare acceleration and deceleration demands of intercounty Camogie players, and differences across playing positions and halves of play.

Hypothesis: The middle 3 positions will have greatest accelerations and decelerations variables across match play and halves of play.

Study Design: Nonrandomized, repeated measures design.

Factors influencing performance and injury risk in elite female Gaelic team sport players and future research directions: a narrative review.

Background: Sports science research in elite female Gaelic team sports has increased in recent years, but still a large disparity exists between the volume of studies involving male and female players. As a consequence of this, it is difficult for practitioners to develop an evidence-based approach when working with female players.

Main Body: In this review, we discuss the current research available in elite female Gaelic team sports with focus on seven specific areas including physical and physiological demands, anthropometric and performance characteristics, injury risk, nutritional considerations, and female physiology.

Training Load Monitoring Considerations for Female Gaelic Team Sports: From Theory to Practice.

Athlete monitoring enables sports science practitioners to collect information to determine how athletes respond to training loads (TL) and the demands of competition. To date, recommendations for females are often adapted from their male counterparts. There is currently limited information available on TL monitoring in female Gaelic team sports in Ireland.
