Summary

Groin injuries present a major problem in sports due to its high frequency, long-lasting symptoms and high risk of re-injury. The most common groin injury is the adductor strain (around two thirds of all groin injuries), while the biggest risk factors are previous injury and lower hip adductors strength. The purpose of this study is to present and biomechanically evaluate several new strengthening exercises targeting hip adductors. Exercises will be performed with the use of our novelty device, which enables eccentric strengthening of the hip adductors in different hip and knee positions. We hypothesize that performing modified hip adductors exercises using the novelty device could enable participants to perform hip adduction throughout larger ROM during eccentric contractions, while changing hip and/or knee angle will differently affect muscle activity and produced joint torques. The latter could be helpful for preventive or rehabilitative training for hip adductors strain injuries, in which therapists want to target specific hip adductor muscle.
