Impact of Tailored Preventive Exercise Program for Reducing Risk of Hip Adductors Injury

Egypt40 participantsStarted 2024-11-20

Plain-language summary

this study will be conducted : * To investigate the impact of tailored preventive exercise program in reducing hip adductor loss of isometric strength in professional football players. * To investigate the impact of tailored preventive exercise program in reducing hip adductors to abductors strength asymmetry ratio in professional football players. * To investigate the impact of tailored preventive exercise program in reducing pain intensity during seasonal matches in professional football players. * To investigate the impact of tailored preventive exercise program on groin health and performance enhancement in professional football players.

Inclusion Criteria: * Male football players only will be included in the study. Men's football had the second highest injury rates . * Players will have loss in hip adductor strength more than 15% . * Players will have hip adductor/abductor strength ratio in percent less than 80% or ratio less than 0.9. * Participants will go under full documentation of groin health and injury history. * Participants will Complain of muscle fatigue or spasm or mild pain on VAS will be 3 or less, during and after matches with no real injury. Exclusion Criteria: Presence of injuries at the level of the hip/hip region at the initial assessment * Players with acute groin injuries. * Players with recent hip and pelvic floor muscles problems. * Players with acute hip adductor strains or tears. * Players with inguinal hernia. * Players who already don't play matches or stop training.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
