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 hip muscles and improves performance in youth football players aged 12-16. Over 6 weeks, 42 healthy boys did the exercises twice a week. Researchers measured muscle strength, jump height, sprint speed, and muscle soreness to find the best way to prevent groin injuries.
