Brief 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.

Conditions

Adductor Strain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Isometric strength of hip adductor muscles

  Isometric strength of hip adductor muscles of the dominant and non-dominant limb will be measured by hand held dynamometer (HHD) (Lafayette model 01165 manual muscle tester with 7 cm×3.5 cm pad) pre-season and post season. Players will be asked to complete a maximum repetition, pushing their distal shanks against the pads for 5 s, providing a measure of force (N) for left and right limbs. During testing, players will be allowed to hold the side of the plinths. The hip adductor strength test was performed three times, with a 45-second break between trials

  at least 6 weeks

• Isometric asymmetry strength ratio between adductors and abductors

  Isometric asymmetry strength ratio between adductors and abductors of dominant (kicking limb) and un-dominant limb (non-kicking limb) will be measured pre-season and post season using hand held dynamometer (HHD). Players will lay supine with the leg being tested in 0° hip and knee extension and resistance applied 5 cm proximal to the malleolus, while the leg not being tested was in knee flexion with the foot on the plinth.

  at least 6 weeks

• Arabic version of Copenhagen HAGOS Questionnaire

  HAGOS questionnaire will be evaluated pre-season and post season. It consists of 37 items covering 6 subscales (pain, symptoms, activities of daily living, sport and recreational activities, participation in physical activity, and quality of living and performance). Each scale from 0 to 4. The total is scored from 0 to 100 with a higher score indicating better hip and groin function.

  at least 6 weeks

• Pain level

  Visual analogue scale will be used to measure pain level pre-season and post season. It is a 10 cm line with score ranged from 0 to 10. 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst pain

  at least 6 weks

Tailored preventive exercises and traditional exercises group

EXPERIMENTAL

The participants will practice tailored preventive exercises and traditional exercises for at least 6 weeks.

Other: Tailored preventive exercises; Other: Traditional exercises

Traditional exercises group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The participants will practice d traditional exercises for at least 6 weeks.

Other: Traditional exercises

Interventions

Tailored preventive exercises OTHER

Players in the experimental group will be asked to perform the tailored preventive program 2-3 times per week for 1 hour for at least 6 weeks preseason which includes warming up for 10 mins, flexibility exercises, strengthening exercises, core and lower body stability and balance exercises and drills all these exercises for 1-4 sets x 10-20 reps and cooling down stretches for the last 10 mins.

Tailored preventive exercises and traditional exercises group

Traditional exercises OTHER

The players will be warmed up as usual, with jogging and ball-based exercises following FIFA 11+ warming up program which consist of three steps with 15 specific exercises running exercises for 8 mins, starting warming up in pairs; Path consists of 6-10 pairs of parallel cones: (Running Straight Ahead, Running Hip Out, Running Hip In, Running Circling Partner, Running Shoulder Contact, Running Quick Forwards and Backwards, Rep. x2). Strength, plyometric, balance for 10 minutes (The Bench, Sideways Bench, Single-leg Stance, Squats, Jumping Rep. 2x 30 sec each side). Running Exercises for 2 minutes (End of heating): (running across the pitch, running bounding, running plant, and cut. Rep x 2). Techniques need to be performed correctly and with an emphasis on maintaining the correct posture of the body. This exercise program should be done at least twice a week
