研究概览
简要总结
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the frequency and characteristics of adductor-related groin symptoms in adolescent Taekwondo athletes aged 12-17 years. The main questions it aims to answer are:
How common are adductor-related groin symptoms in adolescent Taekwondo athletes?
Do athletes with these symptoms show differences in hip strength, joint range of motion, or functional level compared to athletes without symptoms?
Participants will complete a brief screening about their groin pain and training habits, followed by:
Clinical tests of the hip and groin region (resisted adduction, palpation, FABER, and FADIR tests)
Strength testing of hip abductor and adductor muscles using a hand-held dynamometer
Range of motion measurements of the hip using a goniometer
A self-reported questionnaire (Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score - HAGOS) to assess daily activity and sports function
Data from this study will help identify early signs of adductor-related groin problems and guide preventive and rehabilitation strategies for young Taekwondo athletes

研究组 & 干预措施
Symptomatic Group (Adductor-Related Groin Pain Group)
This group will include adolescent Taekwondo athletes aged 12-17 years who report groin pain or discomfort during training and test positive for adductor-related symptoms based on the Doha classification framework.
Diagnosis of adductor-related groin pain will be confirmed through:
Resisted adduction test (pain provocation)
Palpation of adductor muscles and tendons Participants in this group will undergo hip strength, range of motion, and functional assessments.
Asymptomatic Control Group (Healthy Control Group)
This group will include age-, sex-, and activity-matched adolescent Taekwondo athletes who do not report groin pain or any lower extremity injury and test negative on the clinical provocation tests (resisted adduction, palpation, FABER, FADIR).
They will undergo the same measurements as the symptomatic group for comparison.
结局指标
主要结局
Prevalence of Adductor-Related Groin Symptoms
时间窗: at baseline
The presence of adductor-related groin symptoms will be assessed using standardized clinical tests (resisted adduction test and adductor palpation test) based on the Doha classification framework. Unit of Measure: Percentage of athletes with positive test results (%) Purpose: To determine how common adductor-related groin symptoms are among adolescent Taekwondo athletes. Type: Categorical (Yes/No)
Pain Intensity
时间窗: at baseline
Pain intensity during resisted adduction will be evaluated using a Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS; 0-10). Unit of Measure: Points (0-10 scale). Higher points indicates severe pain. Purpose: To quantify the severity of pain in athletes with adductor-related symptoms.
次要结局
- Isometric Hip Adductor Strength(at baseline)
- Isometric Hip Abductor Strength(at baseline)
- Eccentric Hip Adductor Strength(at baseline)
- Eccentric Hip Abductor Strength(at baseline)
- Hip Range of Motion (Abduction and Internal Rotation)(at baseline)
- Functional Level (Self-Reported)(at baseline)
