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.

Detailed description

Football playing is associated with a high risk of injuries, which results in significant costs for the public health system and may even cause long-term disability for the injured player. The study's findings and the developed exercise program can have practical implications for athletic trainers, strength and conditioning coaches, and medical professionals working with professional football players. The program can serve as a valuable resource for designing individualized training regimens aimed at reducing adductor injury risk and optimizing performance in this specific sport population. So, the study's significance lies in its focus on injury prevention programs, tailored training preventive programs, enhancing football players' performance on an evidence-based approach. Since there is still a lack of literature and a gap in this research area on the preventive exercise program related to sport injuries' field and as health care professionals, we must provide the best service for the players not only to increase their game performance but also to keep their long live journey of playing.

Conditions

• Adductor Strain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Tailored preventive exercises	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.
OTHER	Traditional exercises	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
