Implementation of the Adductor Strengthening Programme: Players primed for adoption but reluctant to maintain - A cross-sectional study.

Groin injuries represent a considerable problem in male football, accounting for 4%-19% of all time-loss injuries. The Adductor Strengthening Programme is the first groin-specific prevention program shown to reduce the risk of groin problems. We aimed to use the RE-AIM framework to examine the players' experiences with the implementation of the program and player attitude toward groin injury prevention in football.

The Adductor Strengthening Programme prevents groin problems among male football players: a cluster-randomised controlled trial.

Background: Groin injuries represent a considerable problem in male football. Previous groin-specific prevention programmes have not shown a significant reduction in groin injury rates. An exercise programme using the Copenhagen Adduction exercise increases hip adduction strength, a key risk factor for groin injuries.
