Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this research is to evaluate the impact of an injury prevention programme on injury risk factors and performance outcomes in Ladies Gaelic Football players. This injury prevention programme was designed with input from Ladies Gaelic football stakeholders and experts and this study will determine if this programme reduces injury risk and improves physical performance over time. Participants will complete physical performance tests before and after the intervention, which consists of incorporating the injury prevention programme into regular team training sessions for 12 weeks. The study will also integrate a qualitative component to assess player's perceptions of the programme and their willingness to implement it.
