On pitch S&C tips to reduce groin injuries in #GAA:
▫️Implement Isometric Exercises such as the Copenhagen Plank that target the adductors.
▪️Protocol:
-3 sets of 10s holds on each leg
-Twice per week
-Add 5s each week
-Long term target is 1x60s per leg

▪️Another option is the Isometric Ball Squeeze (easily use an O’Neills ball)
▫️Protocol: 3 sets of 5s building to 3 sets of 30s of a max isometric contraction. Add 5s per week.
(Ball between knees at 45° gives you the best bang for buck)

After Hamstring Injuries in GAA, athletic groin pain is the most common cause of concern for all players & coaches.
1/4 GAA athletes will suffer from hip/groin pain in their careers.
Bear in mind that strengthening specific muscles is only one aspect that may reduce injuries❗️

Horizontal Pushing in #GAA
Athletes competing in Gaelic Games need to effectively transfer energy through the kinetic chain.
Done right, horizontal pushing can develop a great deal of foundational upper body strength and can enable GAA athletes to produce more power.

Bench pressing can get a bad rap, due to being over-emphasised, poorly executed and not part of a balanced programme that should develop the shoulder in many ways & planes of movement.
But if programmed appropriately, it can be hugely beneficial for all #GaelicGames athletes.

1) What was "hurling" like in medieval Ireland (...or what game did Cú Chulainn play?). A twitter 'lecture' with images, texts and weblinks, during the Covid-19 lockdown #camogie #hurling #medieval #Ireland If you're interested, more detail and sources at: …ievalarchaeologyproject.wordpress.com/2016/09/02/hur…
2) Who am I? Prof Archaeology @ucdarchaeology son of Clare hurler, once upon a time Wicklow hurler (I like to mention that often) from @ValleymountGAA & now @KevinsHurling member of @UNESCO @officialgaa @DeptAHG team that secured #ICH for hurling/camogie gaa.ie/news-archive/n…
3) Hurling & Camogie (both were inscribed by @UNESCO as global Intangible Cultural Heritage) are modern field sports, codified, organised by @officialgaa & @OfficialCamogie associations, using distinctly modern sports equipment. But, descend from games of early medieval origins.
