Reviewer 2 Report
Dear authors,
Your paper seems well structured and of scientific interest, but some aspects have to be addressed.
A merit of this review is that it offers an injury analysis for hurling in a specific section. Nevertheless, it should be improved in order to propose injury prevention and rehabilitation strategies. To do that making a comparison with other sports, I suggest the following references:
