Parthsarathi Chilwery, Dr. Priya Deshmukh

Abstract :

Football is the most popular contact sport played at an international level. During football play, the various maneuvers can result in large amounts of stretching of highly activated muscles (lengthening contractions), which are associated with muscle injuries. Groin pain account for 12-16% of injuries seen. They often occur due to forceful action such as kicking, sprinting and sudden change of direction and other movements where there is high activation of muscle and/or stretched during forceful contraction. This is the most common mechanism of groin injuries in football players, The Copenhagen Adduction and Resistance Training with the help of thera-bands are known to have comprehensive effect on treating groin injuries. This study is determined to study the effects of Copenhagen adduction exercise and resistance training in amateur Indian football players with groin injuries and to find out which is more effective
