Every week in the UK 12 young healthy individuals under the age of 35 die from undiagnosed sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), (Sudden Cardiac Arrest UK, 2023). SCA is very common in athletes, especially footballers whose triggers tend to take place during training or matches. Cardiac arrest can take place during any intense physical activity, with the main assessment indicator of a sudden cardiac arrest being without a pulse, not breathing or being unresponsive (NIH, 2023). Ensuring a defibrillator is present at every sporting event is vital to doubling the chances of survival, with the current rates being less than one in ten (BHF, 2023).
