“…Limited data exist on the performance profiling of LGF. A player's aerobic capacity substantially contributes to maximal and submaximal performance in female and male Gaelic games match play (42). A well-developed aerobic system is required for players to adequately recover between periods of play and between maximal and submaximal work bouts reducing the likelihood of making decisions under a fatigued state (143).…”

Ladies Gaelic football (LGF) is a traditional, amateur Gaelic sport played by female athletes. LGF is an invasion-based field sport involving high-intensity, intermittent match play. There is currently a paucity of research on intercounty (elite level) LGF despite a growing interest in the male version of the game. This article aims to provide strength and conditioning recommendations for LGF with particular focus on the intercounty level of play. Recommendations within this article include a needs analysis, female injury epidemiology, physical and physiological demands, female physiology, strength training, and specific conditioning guidelines based on the sport. Additional recommendations include an LGF-specific testing battery, a proposed periodization cycle, and sports-specific speed and agility development.

“…It is reported during side cutting maneuvers in which internal tibia rotation occurs in < 50 ms after initial contact in conjunction with reduced semitendinosus pre-activation, is associated with an increased risk of ACL injury [80]. Therefore, it may be worthwhile for elite Gaelic practitioners to consider specific training modalities to replicate forces produced < 100 ms such as strength-speed, speed strength and velocity-based modalities [1,2].…”

“…Developing stronger, resilient elite female Gaelic team sports athletes will enable them to master complex, athletic movements innate to the games and cope with the increased demands of training and competition without injury [2,81]. An INT approach, which combines strength training, plyometrics and movement skill competencies to maximize female athletic performance [54,55] has been recommended.…”

“…inter-county (elite) female Gaelic team sport players complete up to six tactical, technical and physical training sessions per week, consisting of combination of both pitch and resistance training-based sessions [1,2]. During the competitive season, elite inter-county female Gaelic team sport players compete in two major competitions, the National League, and the All-Ireland Championship.…”

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. There appears to be unique physical demands data in match play across positions in Camogie, however, there is currently no comparative data available in ladies Gaelic football. Similarly, there is no research available on the physiological demands of both elite female Gaelic team sports. According to existing literature, performance characteristics such as speed and power are lower in this population compared to other elite female team sports. Although data is limited, the anthropometric characteristics of elite female Gaelic team sport players appear homogenous with some positional differences observed at a sub-elite level. Previous research has demonstrated a high prevalence of lower limb injuries in female elite Gaelic team sports and the provision of quality, evidence-based strength & conditioning could help mitigate these injury risks. Female Gaelic team sport players have been shown to have poor nutrition knowledge and inadequate intakes of micronutrients. Finally, although menstrual cycle phase and oral contraceptives have been shown to influence performance in other female intermittent sports, to date there has not been any research carried out in elite female Gaelic team sport players. Conclusions It is evident that limited research has been carried out on elite female Gaelic sport players. More up-to-date, high-quality investigations are needed to address the research gaps, which in turn should enable practitioners in the field to apply sound, evidence-based practice/theory when working with this population.

“…A good player is a player who can display a consistent performance from start to finish in every half [5,6]. The good physical quality is needed through training and loading, so that muscle fitness will be created to support every biomotor component in the athlete [7,8]. The biomotor components of athletes include speed, strength, endurance, and flexibility.…”

Purpose: The author tried to examine the water and sand exercise models to maximize athletes’ training ability as exercise media. Material and Methods: This research is experimental research with a “Two Groups Pretest-Posttest” design that includes a pre-test before the subjects are given treatment and a post-test after the treatment. The research populations were twenty male athletes from a basketball club in Yogyakarta, selected using a random sampling technique. All samples were subjected to a pre-test to determine the treatment group, ranked by their pre-test scores, then matched with the A-B-B-A pattern in two groups with ten athletes each. The sampling technique used in this dividing step was ordinal pairing. This research was conducted 18 times in treatment. The instrument used was an agility test using the Lane agility test. The movements for each number are as follows, (1) Sprint, stunt step, (2) Right slide (running with a guard position to the right side), (3) Run backwards, (4) Left slide, (5) Right slide, (6) Sprint, stunt step, pivot, (7) Right slide, (8) Sprint. Results: The research used normality, homogeneity, and hypothesis testing. To test the hypothesis, the researchers used the two types of t-tests, namely paired sample test and the independent sample test. The T-test is a statistical analysis technique that can be used to determine whether there is a significant difference between two sample means or not. The results revealed that the t count was 2,335 with a p significance value of 0.031. Because the t-count was 2.335 and the significance value was <0.05, these results indicated a significant difference. Conclusions: There was a significant difference in the effect of the exercise methods (water exercise and sand exercise) on agility. The sand exercise training method was higher (better) than the water exercise training method on the agility of basketball athletes.
