Action – PEP Program (2)
Prevent Injury Enhance Performance
![Page 9: Injury Prevention in the GAA Dr Clare Lodge MISCP, DPT](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070423/5681665c550346895dd9dd48/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
PEP Goals
Avoid vulnerable positions
Increase flexibility
Increase Strength
Include Plyometrics
Include Proprioception
+Agilities

Incorporate PEP program into training

~You may need to work on specific areas of the Program

![Page 11: Injury Prevention in the GAA Dr Clare Lodge MISCP, DPT](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070423/5681665c550346895dd9dd48/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Does it Work ? Other studies (3),(4) implemented various programmes incorporating a
combination of the PEP program concepts and results are promising.
74%- 89% decrease in lower limb injury incidence Noncontact injuries decreased by 1/3. Re-occurence of lower limb injury was 5x more likely in the control
groups. 6-8 weeks required for the Program to have neuromuscular effect Emphasis on technique:
- landing softly on the forefoot engaging hip and knee flexion + avoid knee collapsing inward - Deceleration techniques
![Page 12: Injury Prevention in the GAA Dr Clare Lodge MISCP, DPT](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070423/5681665c550346895dd9dd48/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Key Points Consider + incorporate PEP components
into training Avoid poor techniques + vulnerable positions Increase Flexibility Increase Strength Include Plyometrics Include Agilities and Proprioception Identify “at risk” players - Previous
Incidence of Injury is the best predictor of reinjury!

• Educate
• Increase awareness
• Demonstrate and reassess
• Individualise when necessary
• Modify for age
