Which exercise builds stronger hips? trial pits two methods against each other
NCT ID NCT07825194
First seen Sep 17, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are testing two different exercise programs to see which one better improves hip adductor strength in junior floorball players. About 50 players aged 16 to 20 will be assigned to either the Copenhagen Adductor Exercise or the Adductor Slide, both done for 8 weeks. The study measures changes in hip strength using handheld and stationary testing devices. The goal is to find out which exercise is more effective for building strength that may help prevent groin injuries.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- two hip-strengthening exercise programs: the Copenhagen Adductor Exercise and the Adductor Slide
- What this could lead to
- If one exercise builds hip adductor strength better, coaches could use it to help young floorball players lower their risk of groin injuries.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is small and short, so results may not hold for other players or sports. Strength gains do not always translate into fewer injuries.
