Summary

This study investigates whether a 4-week Copenhagen Plank exercise program can improve hip adductor strength and vertical jump height in female soccer players. Participants, aged 18 to 35 and free from recent lower limb injuries, will perform the exercise twice weekly alongside their regular training. The results will show if this targeted exercise enhances key performance metrics.
