Summary

This study looked at two versions of the Copenhagen Adduction exercise—one held still (isometric) and one moving (dynamic)—to see which better strengthens the inner thigh and improves jumping and sprinting in young football players aged 12 to 16. Over 6 weeks, 42 healthy players did the exercises twice a week. The goal was to find the most effective way to prevent groin injuries and boost athletic performance.
