Brief Summary

There is enough evidence to know the high incidence of groin injuries in soccer. Despite this, there is not enough about these in women's football. The researchers perform the Copenhagen plank to obtain an improvement in the improvement of adductor strength and the reduction of groin injuries

Conditions

Groin Injury; Muscle Injury

Keywords

Groin pain; Adductors; Copenhagen plank; Strength

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Counter Movement Jump

  Vertical counter movement jump measured in centimeters

  Up to 12 weeks

• Adductor muscle strength

  Adductor muscle strength measured in Hz in both legs

  Up to 12 weeks

Study Arms (2)
