Brief summary: Effects Of Movement Pattern Training Versus Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation On Pain Range Of Motion Flexibility and Kick Distance Among Footballers With Groin Pain.

Detailed description: According to the literature, due to the small number of PT studies on elite athletes (compared with the number of studies on general athletes), it is necessary to further understand whether PT can also benefit this group and accurately test the sports science equipment to facilitate the planning of accurate training courses.There is limited number of studies that have investigated comparative effects of pattern training and propiocetive neuro muscular facilitation..Also, there was no study found that Effects Of Movement Pattern Training Versus Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation On Pain Range Of Motion Flexibility and Kick Distance Among Footballers With Groin Pain.
