Clinical trial NCT06694220: Impact of Tailored Preventive Exercise Program for Reducing Risk of Hip Adductors Injury
Official title: Impact of Tailored Preventive Exercise Program for Reducing Risk of Hip Adductors Injury
Study type: INTERVENTIONAL
Overall status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING
Phase: NA
Conditions: Adductor Strain
Lead sponsor: Cairo University
Sponsor class: OTHER
First posted: 2024-11-19
Enrollment: 40
Sex: MALE
Minimum age (years): 18
Maximum age (years): 35
Standard ages: ADULT
Accepts healthy volunteers: yes
Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Primary purpose: PREVENTION

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.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Male football players only will be included in the study. Men's football had the second highest injury rates .
* Players will have loss in hip adductor strength more than 15% .
* Players will have hip adductor/abductor strength ratio in percent less than 80% or ratio less than 0.9.
* Participants will go under full documentation of groin health and injury history.
* Participants will Complain of muscle fatigue or spasm or mild pain on VAS will be 3 or less, during and after matches with no real injury.

Exclusion Criteria:

Presence of injuries at the level of the hip/hip region at the initial assessment

* Players with acute groin injuries.
* Players with recent hip and pelvic floor muscles problems.
* Players with acute hip adductor strains or tears.
* Players with inguinal hernia.
* Players who already don't play matches or stop training.
