The epidemiology of back injuries in elite Gaelic football athletes: An 8-year prospective study.

Objectives: To describe the epidemiology of back injury in elite male Gaelic football athletes between 2008 and 2016.

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Setting: Injury data from the National GAA Injury Surveillance Database.

Epidemiology and moderators of injury in Gaelic football: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: To quantify the incidence, location and severity of injuries in Gaelic football and to identify potential moderators of those injuries.

Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods: A comprehensive search strategy of six electronic databases was undertaken independently by two researchers in March 2020.

A new method for sudden mechanical perturbation with axial load, to assess postural control in sitting and standing.

Sudden application of load along a sagittal or coronal axis has been used to study trunk stiffness, but not axial (vertical) load. This study introduces a new method for sudden-release axial load perturbation. Prima facie validity was supported by comparison with standard mechanical systems.
