Key result
This review provides comprehensive strength and conditioning recommendations, including injury epidemiology, physiological demands, and periodization strategies for female intercounty camogie athletes.
Why the study?
There is a dearth of research in intercounty camogie despite prevalent research in hurling, leaving a need for sport-specific strength and conditioning recommendations.
This article provides specific strength and conditioning recommendations, testing batteries, and periodization strategies for female intercounty camogie athletes.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May guide S&C for camogie athletes; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
Camogie (kuh·mow·gee) is a traditional, amateur Gaelic sport played by female athletes. This invasion-based field sport involves high-intensity intermittent physical demands. There is currently a dearth of available research in intercounty despite the prevalence of research in the male version of the game (hurling). The aims of this article are to provide strength and conditioning recommendations for the sport of camogie, specifically at intercounty level. These recommendations include considerations working with intercounty female camogie athletes, specific camogie injury epidemiology, physiological demands, and practical strength and conditioning for implementation by practitioners. Moreover, a sport-specific testing battery; development of physical attributes to enhance match-play performance; a proposed annual periodization cycle; and sample strength, speed and agility programs will be discussed.

Duggan et al. (2020) conducted a review in Camogie (female GAA athletes). Strength and conditioning recommendations was evaluated. This review provides comprehensive strength and conditioning recommendations, including injury epidemiology, physiological demands, and periodization strategies for female intercounty camogie athletes.
