Muscle activity of cutting manoeuvres and soccer inside passing suggests an increased groin injury risk during these movements
Abstract Cutting manoeuvres and inside passing are thought to increase the risk of sustaining groin injuries. But both movements have received little research attention in this regard. The purpose of this study was to investigate the muscle activity of adductor longus and gracilis as well as hip and...
