GAA 15 Exercises in detail

The selected injury prevention intervention is based on programmes incorporated internationally by FIFA (the 11+) (FMARC) and by the Santa Monica Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Research Foundation (PEP) in soccer, the findings from the National Injury database since 2007 and a pilot of the programme in UCD.

The GAA 15 can be undertaken as a standardised warm-up before training and games.

 

Salaso

Salaso has produced HD exercise warm-up videos for the 'GAA 15'. Their exercise technology platform aims to keep more players injury-free and to reduce the cost and length of recovery so players get better faster. Salaso use multimedia and technology to enrich and develop the connection between healthcare professionals such as physiotherapists and doctors and the sporting community (athletes, team managers, sports clubs, administration bodies) thereby preventing injury and supporting injured athletes to engage effectively in evidence-based exercise pre-habilitation and rehabilitation programs respectively.
