Brief Summary

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

Rink hockey teams from senior category (adults) will be recruited to implement a groin injury prevention program consisting on the Copenhagen Adduction Exercise (CAE) throughout the regular season, 0 times, once or twice per week (september 2023-march 2024)

Weekly team exposure to training sessions and games will be collected as well as cases of groin problems in the entire population

When the season ends, the number of groin problems will be compared between teams that used the prevention program once a week against twice a week or no sessions a week.

Detailed Description

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

Rink hockey teams will be offered a prevention program consisting on the CAE to be performed during the season.

Teams will decide to implement the protocol once, twice or 0 times per week, depending on their schedule. No formal control group will be set, comparison of injuries will be performed between teams that used +80% of the total possible sessions and -80% (28 weeks equals a potential 42 CAE sessions throughout the season).

On a weekly basis, coaches will be contacted to report number of training sessions, games, and training sessions where they implemented CAE.

Bi-weekly, players will report any episode of groin problems (both leading to time-loss and those only affecting performance while not limiting participation).

Study Groups

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

Copenhagen Adduction Exercise Group

there is no control group, all teams can implement the intervention protocol that better fits their normal schedule, the intervention can consist of 1 or 2 Copenhagen Adduction Exercise sessions per week

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Copenhagen Adduction Exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The CAE is performed by side-lying on the floor with the dominant lower limb supported in the air by a teammate, the hip is adducted until the body forms a straight line from the ankles to the shoulders (concentric phase), then the player is instructed to lower the body slowly (eccentric phase) until reaching the floor to start the next repetition.
