Sport-related concussion (SRC) is a potential issue within Gaelic Football. Therefore, it is essential that concussion management guidelines are adhered to.
HYPOTHESIS/PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to determine if potential concussive events (PCEs) in the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) National Football League (NFL) are assessed in accordance with GAA concussion guidelines and compare this to other sports.
A descriptive video analysis approach was undertaken to identify PCEs throughout two seasons of play. Subsequent assessment, return to play (RTP) decisions, and signs of concussion were evaluated.
A total of 242 PCEs were identified over 111 matches. Most PCEs (87.2%, n = 211) were assessed by medical personnel. However, 187 (88.6%) of assessments were under 2 min in duration. Of the 242 PCEs, 189 (78.1%) returned to play after on-pitch assessment, and 12 (5.0%) were removed following a PCE. Sixty-one (25.2%) players sustaining a PCE demonstrated one or more signs of concussion, of which 9 (14.8%) were removed from play.
In the GAA NFL, PCEs are often briefly assessed but rarely result in player removal. Introduction of video incident analysis and concussion substitutions, as in other sports, may reduce the long-term burden of SRC on Gaelic Football players.
运动相关性脑震荡（SRC）是盖尔式足球中潜在的问题。因此，必须遵守脑震荡管理指南。
假设/目的：本研究的目的是确定盖尔运动协会（GAA）国家足球联盟（NFL）中的潜在脑震荡事件（PCE）是否符合 GAA 脑震荡指南，并与其他运动进行比较。
采用描述性视频分析方法，在两个赛季的比赛中确定 PCE。随后评估了返回比赛（RTP）的决定和脑震荡的迹象。
在 111 场比赛中，共确定了 242 次 PCE。大多数 PCE（87.2%，n=211）由医务人员评估。然而，187 次（88.6%）评估持续时间不到 2 分钟。在 242 次 PCE 中，189 次（78.1%）在场上评估后返回比赛，12 次（5.0%）因 PCE 被移除。61 名（25.2%）遭受 PCE 的球员表现出一个或多个脑震荡迹象，其中 9 名（14.8%）被从比赛中移除。
在 GAA NFL 中，PCE 通常会进行短暂评估，但很少导致球员被移除。引入视频事件分析和脑震荡换人，就像其他运动一样，可能会降低 SRC 对盖尔足球运动员的长期负担。
