Exercise program to prevent hip adductor injuries in football players
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a special exercise program designed to reduce the risk of inner thigh (hip adductor) injuries in male football players. It may help you if you have some strength loss in your inner thighs but no current injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a male football player.
- You have lost more than 15% of the strength in your inner thigh muscles (hip adductors).
- Your inner thigh strength is less than 80% of your outer thigh strength (or a ratio less than 0.9).
- You have no current hip or groin injury (such as a strain, tear, or hernia).
- You have mild muscle fatigue, spasms, or pain (3 or less on a 0-10 scale) during or after matches, but no real injury.

This study develops and tests a new standardized procedure to assess hip and groin injuries in young competitive athletes. Researchers will evaluate whether a specialized testing program can help identify and prevent injuries in athletes aged 14–20.
This study tests if a hip strength measurement is reliable for soccer players. If you join, you will help researchers learn how to better check for groin injuries.
This study looks at how common hip and groin injuries are in competitive athletes during their sports season, and how best to manage them. If you are an active athlete with hip impingement (FAI), you may be able to join and help improve care for athletes like you.
This study tests two different types of exercise therapy—a standard rehab program and a joint mobilization approach—to see which better reduces groin pain, improves balance and leg function, and helps you return to playing soccer. If you have had groin pain for at least 2 months and want to get back to your sport, this trial might be for you.
This trial tests whether a program of education plus exercise can reduce long-term hip or groin pain. It may help by improving movement and function, especially when pain has lasted more than 3 months.
This study is checking how football players' sprint, agility, balance, and body awareness change after training, depending on whether they have had a hamstring injury before. It will help understand how to prevent future injuries.
