Not Applicable

Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Adductor Strain

• Registration Number: NCT06694220
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

this study will be conducted :

* To investigate the impact of tailored preventive exercise program in reducing hip adductor loss of isometric strength in professional football players.

* To investigate the impact of tailored preventive exercise program in reducing hip adductors to abductors strength asymmetry ratio in professional football players.

* To investigate the impact of tailored preventive exercise program in reducing pain intensity during seasonal matches in professional football players.

* To investigate the impact of tailored preventive exercise program on groin health and performance enhancement in professional football players.

Detailed Description

Football playing is associated with a high risk of injuries, which results in significant costs for the public health system and may even cause long-term disability for the injured player. The study's findings and the developed exercise program can have practical implications for athletic trainers, strength and conditioning coaches, and medical professionals working with professional football players. The program can serve as a valuable resource for designing individualized training regimens aimed at reducing adductor injury risk and optimizing performance in this specific sport population.

So, the study's significance lies in its focus on injury prevention programs, tailored training preventive programs, enhancing football players' performance on an evidence-based approach. Since there is still a lack of literature and a gap in this research area on the preventive exercise program related to sport injuries' field and as health care professionals, we must provide the best service for the players not only to increase their game performance but also to keep their long live journey of playing.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Isometric strength of hip adductor muscles	at least 6 weeks	Isometric strength of hip adductor muscles of the dominant and non-dominant limb will be measured by hand held dynamometer (HHD) (Lafayette model 01165 manual muscle tester with 7 cm×3.5 cm pad) pre-season and post season.; Players will be asked to complete a maximum repetition, pushing their distal shanks against the pads for 5 s, providing a measure of force (N) for left and right limbs. During testing, players will be allowed to hold the side of the plinths. The hip adductor strength test was performed three times, with a 45-second break between trials
Isometric asymmetry strength ratio between adductors and abductors	at least 6 weeks	Isometric asymmetry strength ratio between adductors and abductors of dominant (kicking limb) and un-dominant limb (non-kicking limb) will be measured pre-season and post season using hand held dynamometer (HHD). Players will lay supine with the leg being tested in 0° hip and knee extension and resistance applied 5 cm proximal to the malleolus, while the leg not being tested was in knee flexion with the foot on the plinth.
Arabic version of Copenhagen HAGOS Questionnaire	at least 6 weeks	HAGOS questionnaire will be evaluated pre-season and post season. It consists of 37 items covering 6 subscales (pain, symptoms, activities of daily living, sport and recreational activities, participation in physical activity, and quality of living and performance). Each scale from 0 to 4. The total is scored from 0 to 100 with a higher score indicating better hip and groin function.
Pain level	at least 6 weks	Visual analogue scale will be used to measure pain level pre-season and post season. It is a 10 cm line with score ranged from 0 to 10. 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst pain
