Resumo(s)
during the competitive season of professional football teams.
Design: Prospective Cohort study.
Setting: Controlled laboratory environment.
Participants: Seventy-one players volunteered to participate.
Main outcome measures: In the pre-season, maximal hip adductor strength was measured by means of
the isometric adductor squeeze test. Hip adductor strength, normalized by body mass, was compared
between players who suffered a groin injury (n ¼ 18) vs uninjured players (n ¼ 53). Risk ratios (RR) were
used to evaluate the likelihood of players to suffer this type of injury.
Results: Most of the reported groin injuries occurred during competitive matches (5.5 per 1000 match
hours). Maximal isometric hip adductor strength was lower in the groin-injured group compared with
their uninjured counterparts (429.8 ± 100 vs 564 ± 58.7 N, d¼ 1.58 and 5.40 ± 1.27 vs 7.71 ± 0.89 N/kg,
d¼ 1.88, respectively). Results revealed that values of maximal isometric adductor strength lower than
465.33 N increased the probability to suffer a groin injury by 72%. Furthermore, values of force relative to
body mass lower than 6.971 N/kg increased the probability to suffer a groin injury by 83%.
Conclusion: The assessment of Hip adductor strength, in addition to other measurements, might help
practitioners to determine the probability of suffering an overuse groin injuries in elite football players.
