Improvement in the incidence of groin problems with adductor strength programme in male footballers .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
The Adductor Strengthening Programme prevents groin problems among male football players: a cluster-randomised controlled trial
Br J Sports Med. 2019 Feb;53(3):150-157.652 male footballers from 2nd or 3rd tier Norwegian teams were randomized to receive or not receive the Copenhagen adductor strengthening program in addition to regular pre-season and regular season training. The primary outcome of interest was the prevalence of groin injury. The secondary outcome of interest was the prevalence of substantial groin injury. Intervention was performed during pre-season 2-3 times per week, and during the regular season once per week. Follow up was performed weekly for the duration of the 28 week season. The results from this study revealed significantly lower odds of groin injury in the adductor strengthening group compared to the control group. There was, however, no significant difference in the odds of a substantial groin injury between the two groups.
