简要总结
The effect of the Copenhagen Adduction Exercise on groin injuries rate among soccer players The Copenhagen adduction exercise is a body-weight exercise which mainly works the groin and hip Adductors. It has a large eccentric component, meaning the muscles are working whilst lengthening.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the Copenhagen adduction exercise on groin injuries among soccer players.
It hypothesized that Copenhagen adduction exercise has a beneficial effect in terms of groin injury prevention.
详细描述
Study type Interventional Description of intervention(s) / exposure The intervention group will be instructed to include the Copenhagen adduction exercise into their warm up before training session (3 times per week) during one season (6 months).
Group sessions will be administered by an exercise physiologist and/ or athletic trainer and/ or soccer coaches and/ or strength and conditioning specialists and/ or physiotherapist.
Session attendance checklists will be used to assess or monitor adherence to the intervention.
The Copenhagen adduction exercise is a body-weight exercise which mainly works the groin and hip adductor. It has a large eccentric component, meaning the muscles are working whilst lengthening.
The Copenhagen Adduction exercise is a simple isolated eccentric partner exercise and doesn't require special equipment and can be performed as a warm up activity on the pitch.

结局指标
主要结局
Incidence of initial injuries
时间窗: At the end of the intervention season (6 months)
Injury is defined according to a consensus statement on injury definitions and data collection procedures in soccer studies; an injury will be recorded if it caused the player to be unable to completely participate in the following match or training session.Injury rates will be summarised as number of injuries per 1000 player-hours for both matches and training. Exposure time in hours will be calculated for each team over a 6-month period. Data will be collected from Sports Injury Tracker injury reporting form. Coaches in both the experimental and control groups will be reporting injuries during training and matches by filling in forms once per week and submitting the information using the Sports Injury Tracker injury reporting form (Sports Medicine Australia). Injury rates will be summarised as number of injuries per 1000 player-hours for both matches and training. Exposure time in hours will be calculated for each team over a 6-month period.
The incidence of recurrent injuries
时间窗: At the end of the intervention season (6 months)
Recurrent injury is defined as a repeat episode of a fully recovered injury. Injury is defined according to a consensus statement on injury definitions and data collection procedures in soccer studies; an injury will be recorded if it caused the player to be unable to completely participate in the following match or training session. Data will be collected from Sports Injury Tracker injury reporting form.
次要结局
- Compliance with the intervention(At the end of the intervention season (6 months))
- Injury severity(At time of any injury occurring throughout intervention soccer season (6 months))
