“…Within the current investigation players were shown to achieve on average 86 ± 4% of their individual maximal velocity during match-play equating to a mean maximal velocity of 7.17 ± 0.41 m•s −1 . The mean velocity attained within LGF is in line with previous data reported within elite ladies' sport [17][18][19][20][21]. Within the current data there was no positional differences in maximal velocity capabilities suggesting that the attainment of high percentages of maximal velocity is a holistic requirement of elite LGF match-play.…”

“…These differences in the demands of playing positions are like what has been previously reported for elite senior male match-play, whereby full-back and full-forward positions covered significantly less total and HSD than all other positions [8,7,13,14,16]. Further positional profiles have been shown within multiple female sports [7,12,[18][19][20][21]24]. Our data show that reductions in running performance are present across halves of play.…”

“…Consistently across these investigations the central positions (half back, midfield, half forward) have been shown to cover the greatest distances and have the greatest decline in running performance across halves [13] and quarters [14]. Similar trends regarding specific positional profiles, and decrements in running performance exist across other female sports such as soccer [12], field hockey [17][18][19], camogie [10,20] and AFL [21]. However, to date no descriptive data across LGF match-play exist.…”

“…Future studies should investigate how these technical skills can impact running performance during match-play. Finally, sprint performance should be demarcated for analysis to understand the specific sprint distances require of players during match, in line with previous investigations within Camogie [20]. Given that players have different physical and physiological capacities, it is suggested that further studies aim to analyze the running performance of players, across individualized speed thresholds.…”

“…Furthermore, the collection of data will support the development of female team sports with increased understanding around the physical requirements of match-play [4]. Creating a running performance profile for LGF could allow for data informed conditioning practices to ensure that players are exposed to adequate running demands within training, to allow them to meet the demands of match-play consistently across a competitive calendar [10,20].…”

Purpose The current investigation aimed to examine the running performance of elite Ladies Gaelic football (LGF) match-play and establish the within game positional profile, in addition to the running performance of players across halves of play. Methods GPS technology was used to examine the running performance of thirty-three (n = 33) elite LGF players (age; 23 ± 5 years, height; 173 ± 5 cm, body mass; 63 ± 4 kg). Across the duration of the observational period, one hundred and thirty-one (n = 131) individual samples were collected over 15 competitive matches. Data were classified based on positional line and across halves of play. Running performance was determined across the following performance variables of total distance covered (m) (TD), relative distance (m·min−1), HSR (≥ 4.4 m·s−1), RHSR (HSR; m·min−1), percentage HSR (% HSR), VHSR (≥ 5.5 m·s−1), peak velocity (m s−1), percentage peak velocity (% PeakV), accelerations (n; ≥ 3 m·s−2) and decelerations (n; ≤ − 3 m·s−2), Results Independent of position the mean distance covered during match play was 7319 ± 1021 m which equates to a relative work rate of 116 ± 9 m·min−1. The high-speed distance of players was 1547 ± 432 m, which equates to a relative high-speed running distance of 25 ± 11 m·min−1. The maximal velocity of players was 7.17 ± 0.41 m·s−1 reflective of a relative maximal velocity of 86 ± 4 percent. The greatest distances were covered by half-backs, midfielders, and half-forwards, with these positions covering significantly greater distances than full-backs (p ≤ 0.05; ES: 0.59–1.25; small-moderate) and full-forwards (p ≤ 0.05; ES: 0.44–1.21; small-moderate). While TD and maximal velocity was shown not to change across halves of play, significant reductions (p ≤ 0.05) were observed across HSR (ES: 0.64–1.02; moderate), accelerations and decelerations (ES: 0.59–1.20; moderate). Conclusion The current investigation is the first of its kind within elite LGF, the data within the investigation can aid the coaching process by allowing for the development of sport-specific training regimen specific to the positional needs of elite LGF players.

Background: No research has investigated the training load (TL) monitoring practices currently used by strength and conditioning (S&C) coaches in Gaelic games. The purpose of this study was to investigate the TL monitoring practices used by S&C coaches across senior intercounty male and female Gaelic game sports. Study Design: Cross-sectional. Hypotheses: It was hypothesized that (1) TL is commonly monitored, (2) various methods are used by S&C coaches to monitor TL, and (3) the level of qualifications of the S&C coach is of a professional standard. Level of Evidence: Level 4. Methods: A total of 33 (n = 32 male and n = 1 female) S&C coaches participated in the study by completing an online questionnaire that investigated coach biography, coach education, team biography, monitoring practices, rating of perceived exertion, acute:chronic workload ratio, and data implementation. Results: The results showed that S&C coaches had varying levels of experience and education. All 33 coaches (100%) stated they monitored the TL of the players. The most common method used to monitor TL was session rating of perceived exertion, which was used by 91% of coaches. Analysis of an open-ended question afforded each participant the opportunity to share additional information, highlighting 3 themes: (1) communication with players, (2) performance testing, and (3) clarity and support among other coaching staff. Conclusion: Multiple methods are used to monitor TL in Gaelic games. Despite multiple forms of technology available, communication with players provides essential information regarding an athlete’s state. Clinical Relevance: As this is the first study to explore TL monitoring practices used by S&C coaches in Gaelic games, the results may inform the development of educational resources for the guidance of coaches working in Gaelic games in best practice TL monitoring.
