Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to investigate the feasibility of a training intervention in patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of a 12-weeks (progressive) exercise program in patients with FAIS. Feasibility is evaluated on the recruitment strategy, patient adherence to the exercises and their experiences with and motivation for performing exercises. Furthermore, the investigators wish to investigate the variation of data before and after the exercise program to help estimate a suitable sample size for a future randomized controlled trial.
