Amager Hospital34 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of strength training with elastic bands on hip strength in soccer players, the effect measured with hand-held dynamometry. The primary outcomes are isometric and eccentric hip adduction strength. The hypothesis is that strength training with elastic bands will result in a clinical relevant increase in hip adduction strength.
