Brief Summary

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

Groin pain that relates to the adductor muscle usually represents in the groin region specifically in superior internal thigh. Tears or strains may happen within the muscles itself, tears or strains mainly occurs at musculotendinous junctions or within the tendons. Adductor strain is a familiar but mostly ignored cause of groin injury and pain among athletes. Risk factors include past hip or groin injury, age, weak adductors, muscle fatigue, lessen range of motion, and deficient stretching of the adductor muscle complex.

Detailed Description

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

This study will be a randomized clinical trial and will be conducted in Pakistan sports board and coaching center. Non-probability consecutive sampling will be used to collect the data. Sample size of this research is 46 subjects with age group between 18-30 years will be taken. Data will be collected from the patients of adductor strain that causes groin pain by using tools Numeric Pain Rating Scale for pain, Adductor Muscle Strength Test by Hand Held Dynamometer, The Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGO's) questionnaire and Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS). An informed consent will be taken. Squeeze test will be performed to evaluate the adductor related groin pain. The subjects will be divided into two groups i.e. Group A and Group B. Group A will receive the Copenhagen exercise, also known as the adductor strengthening protocol, is a dynamic and high-intensity exercise. It doesn't require any special equipment and can be done in any training center. Group B will receive Holmich continues to provide the strongest evidence for the efficacy of exercise as an ARGP treatment. Both groups will perform their routine warm ups and cool downs the total duration of the protocol is 6 weeks, 3 times a week the duration of each session 3 sets of 10 repetitions with 15 sec recovery period Keywords groin pain, Holmich protocol, Copenhagen exercise, adductor strain.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group A: Copenhagen exercise

Group A will receive the Copenhagen exercise, also known as the adductor strengthening protocol, is a dynamic and high-intensity exercise. It doesn't require any special equipment and can be done in any training center.

There are 3 different levels of exercise were performed by players.

1. Level 1: Side-lying hip adduction exercise.
2. Level 2: Copenhagen adduction exercises while both arms support at the knee.
3. Level 3: Copenhagen adduction exercise - primary support at the ankle and minor support at the knee.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Copenhagen exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

Group A performs copenhagen exercises

Both groups will perform their routine warm ups and cool downs the total duration of the protocol is 6 weeks, 3 times a week the duration of each session 3 sets of 10 repetitions with 15 sec recovery period. Hip extensor and flexor stretching and strengthening.

Group B : Holmich Exercises

Group B will receive Holmich continues to provide the strongest evidence for the efficacy of exercise as an ARGP treatment.

The Holmich treatment protocol exercise includes static and dynamic and/or isometric and isotonic strengthening exercises for hip adductors and abductors and also for abdominal muscles.

There are 6 Different types of exercises were performed by players who were a participant with 3 sets of 10 repetitions with 15 sec recovery period.
