These injuries often happen under contraction of the muscle, while it has to lengthen, thus under eccentric muscle action. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ishoi et al from the year 2016 have shown that the Copenhagen adduction exercise led to eccentric strength gains of 35.7% and eccentric hip abductor strength gains of 20.3% in an 8 week trial in young sub-elite soccer players.<\/span>\n<div class=\"embed-container\">\n\n[embed]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lBIcQzr-cQs[\/embed]\n\n<\/div>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To perform the Copenhagen adduction exercise go into side-lying position with the lower forearm used as support on the ground, while the other arm is placed along the body. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The upper leg is held at approximately the height of the hip of the partner, who holds the leg with one hand supporting the ankle and the other hand above the knee.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then perform a repetition by lifting your body in a 3s concentric hip adduction movement while simultaneously adducting the lower leg so that the body is in one line and the feet touch each other. Then lower the leg slowly by a 3s eccentric adduction where the body is lowered halfway to the ground while the foot of the lower leg is lowered until it just touches the ground without using it for support.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this way, the adductors of both legs have to work eccentrically with the upper leg being the leg that is primarily trained. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be careful that there is no side flexion of the trunk throughout the whole movement. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We recommend starting with 2 sets per side and 6 repetitions, 2 to 3 times per week. You can then slowly increase from week to week until you can perform 3 sets with 15 repetitions.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t have a partner, you can perform the exercise on a smith machine with a cushion. To progress this exercise, even more, you can perform it on a TRX suspension trainer or use additional weights.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Haroy et al. al even suggested adding this exercise to the FIFA 11+ prevention program to potentially prevent groin problems, as they are not being tackled sufficiently in the current program.<\/span>\n\n[cta]\n"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"content-content","section_options":{"vertical_alignment":"top","column_right_box":false,"column_left_width":"col-12 col-lg-4 offset"},"column_left":{"content_editor":"<h4>References<\/h4>"},"column_right":{"content_editor":"<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/26589483\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ish\u00f8i L, S\u00f8rensen CN, Kaae NM, J\u00f8rgensen LB, H\u00f6lmich P, Serner A.
