简要总结
Hip and groin injuries affect approximately 21% of professional athletes annually, causing significant time loss. As roughly 48% of these cases result from non-contact mechanisms, they are potentially preventable through optimized diagnostic screening. Evidence strongly links restricted hip range of motion (ROM) and strength deficits to an increased injury risk. This project aims to (1) develop a rigorously validated diagnostic testing procedure by comparing different joint positions, movement velocities, and muscle contractions to establish a preventive "gold standard" screening battery. dditionally, (2) pilot targeted prevention interventions over a competitive season. Using a crossover design, the research evaluates three protocols: Strength-focused,Flexibility-focused:and control group. (3) Implement of a Centralized Injury Reporting System. Combining comprehensive diagnostic screening with these practical interventions will yield a powerful tool for clinicians and coaches to effectively reduce the incidence and burden of non-contact hip and groin injuries

研究组 & 干预措施
Strength-focused
Emphasizing specific joint stabilization and eccentric load tolerance, heavily utilizing the Copenhagen Adductor Exercise.
干预措施: Strength-focused (Other)
Flexibility-focused:
Targeting functional hip ROM through stretching and dynamic mobility under load.
干预措施: Flexibility-focused (Other)
Control
Maintaining standard club warm-up and training regimens.
结局指标
主要结局
Hip and Groin Injury Incidence During the Competitive Season
时间窗: Through the competitive season, up to 9 months
The number of new hip and groin injuries occurring during the monitored competitive season among athletes participating in the different preseason intervention programs. Injury incidence will be recorded by team medical staff and expressed as the number of injuries per 1000 athlete-exposures.
次要结局
- Hip and Groin Injury Severity(Through the competitive season, up to 9 months)
- Hip and Groin Injury Burden(Through the competitive season, up to 9 months)
