Study to address GAA’s cruciate ‘curse’

THE GAA will this week take the first step towards addressing the cruciate problem facing Gaelic games.

Study to address GAA’s cruciate ‘curse’

An eight-week pilot study of freshers (first year) footballers and hurlers in UCD will see a proportion of the players use a 15-minute GAA-specific prehab routine devised by the Association’s medical research sub-committee aimed at reducing such knee injuries.

The research will compare and contrast half the players who perform the programme instead of their regular warm-up exercises against the other half who will carry out their usual pre-training routine.
