Injury Prevention Form

This form is for recording any sport-related injury or incident that occurs during handball training, matches, warm-ups, or cool-downs. Submitting the form helps protect athlete wellbeing, supports injury prevention, and contributes to national injury surveillance in Irish handball.

Please complete the form as soon as possible after an incident. It only takes a few minutes — and every submission helps build a safer sport.

How to Complete the Form

Watch the explainer video below to guide you through each section of the form.

You’ll be asked to:

• Identify yourself and the injured athlete

• Record the date, venue, match/training context, and specific action when the injury occurred

• Indicate if the athlete continued playing or not

• Select the injured body region and side (L, R, or B)

• Describe the injury mechanism (e.g. contact, overuse)

• Note any suspected or confirmed concussion

• Add relevant exposure data (minutes played, training frequency, etc.)

• Include follow-up details if available — or submit them later

If the athlete prefers not to answer a question, draw a diagonal line through that box.
