Effect of the Copenhagen Plank on Aductional Strenght and Vertical Jump in Female Football Players

Overview

There is enough evidence to know the high incidence of groin injuries in soccer. Despite this, there is not enough about these in women's football. The researchers perform the Copenhagen plank to obtain an improvement in the improvement of adductor strength and the reduction of groin injuries

At present, there is enough evidence to know the high incidence of groin injuries in soccer. Despite this, there is not enough about them in women's football. Strengthening the adductor muscles is beneficial in preventing these injuries. The Copenhagen plank is beneficial in programs for the prevention and treatment of groin injuries. A randomized controlled trial was carried out. The sample was made up of 26 players between 18 and 31 years of age from the CAP Ciudad de Murcia soccer team. The experimental group (n=12) performed the Copenhagen plank protocol for 4 weeks, the control group continued their training as normal. Performance was assessed using the CMJ jump and the hip adduction strength test using manual dynamometry. 3 measurements were made.
