Summary

This research project will investigate the effects of two 6-week adductor (hip muscle) exercise programmes on adductor muscle function and performance.

Measures of adductor muscle strength and performance (jump height, hopping and sprint) and self reported hip and groin function using a questionnaire will be recorded pre and post a 6-week period. A group of footballers will be recruited and randomly allocated to an intervention or control group. Two different intervention groups will complete two different, six-week adductor exercise programmes in addition to their regular training programme. The exercise programmes will last 15 minutes (approximately) per session, with 3 sessions per week. The control group will continue their regular training programme.
