Preventive exercises for reducing hip muscle injury in football
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a tailored set of exercises to prevent inner-thigh injuries in male football players who have weak or imbalanced hip muscles. You join to see if the exercises help reduce your risk of getting hurt.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a male football player who trains and plays matches regularly
- Have at least 15% loss of strength in the inner-thigh (adductor) muscles
- Have a strength imbalance between inner-thigh and outer-thigh muscles (the inner-thigh is notably weaker)
- Feel only mild pain, fatigue, or cramping (no serious injury), with a pain score of 3 or less on a 0–10 scale
- Have no current hip or groin injury, such as strains, tears, or a hernia

This study develops a testing procedure to identify hip and groin injury risk in young team sport athletes. It may help prevent injuries by screening athletes during the preseason.
This study checks if a new groin strength test is reliable for soccer players. It aims to help prevent groin injuries in athletes.
This study compares two exercise programs—one focusing on specific groin-strengthening exercises (Holmich protocol) and the other on joint mobilization—to see which is better at reducing pain, improving balance and leg function, and helping you get back to soccer. You'll be in one of the two groups and will do the exercises over several weeks.
This study looks at how common hip and groin injuries are in competitive athletes, and tests a non-surgical treatment approach for those with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), a hip condition that can cause pain during sport. It aims to find better ways to manage this condition and help you stay active.
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 tests a new way to position patients during hip keyhole surgery to reduce injury to the groin area from pulling. If you are having hip arthroscopy for a condition called femoroacetabular impingement, this trial might help make your recovery smoother.
