Agility is crucial for soccer players, and core training can improve it. One study showed significant agility improvements after an intervention including core training for athletes with groin pain. However, it is unclear if these improvements resulted specifically from the core exercises or the entire program. Additionally, the study lacked a control group, making the findings inconclusive.
The current study aimed to explore the effect of core training, previously reported in the context of groin-pain rehabilitation, on agility performance in soccer players with groin pain.
Twenty soccer players with groin pain volunteered to participate. They were randomly assigned to a core training group (n = 10) and a control group (n = 10). Before and immediately after that period, agility performance (T test and Edgren Side Step Test) and self-reported outcomes (Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score) were assessed in both groups.
No significant session × group interaction was observed in agility T test (F = 2.55; P = .12; ηp2=.12) and Edgren Side Step Test (F = 3.18; P = .09; ηp2=.15) performances. Besides, Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome scores showed significant improvements (P = .007 to <.001) in the core training group following the 12 weeks of core training and compared with the control group.
The results showed that soccer players with groin pain who received or did not receive core training showed similar agility performance. However, significant improvements in self-reported outcomes were observed in soccer players compared with the control group. Clinicians and coaches should therefore consider core training when designing training and rehabilitation programs for this population to enhance recovery.
敏捷性对足球运动员至关重要，而核心训练可以提高敏捷性。一项研究表明，对腹股沟疼痛的运动员进行包括核心训练在内的干预后，敏捷性有显著提高。然而，尚不清楚这些改善是具体源于核心训练还是整个训练计划。此外，该研究缺乏对照组，使得研究结果尚无定论。
本研究旨在探讨先前在腹股沟疼痛康复背景下报道的核心训练对腹股沟疼痛的足球运动员敏捷性表现的影响。
20名患有腹股沟疼痛的足球运动员自愿参与。他们被随机分为核心训练组（n = 10）和对照组（n = 10）。在该阶段前后，对两组运动员的敏捷性表现（T测试和埃德格伦侧步测试）和自我报告结果（哥本哈根髋部和腹股沟结果评分）进行评估。
在敏捷性T测试（F = 2.55；P = 0.12；ηp2 = 0.12）和埃德格伦侧步测试（F = 3.18；P = 0.09；ηp2 = 0.15）表现中，未观察到显著的训练阶段×组间交互作用。此外，与对照组相比，核心训练组在进行12周核心训练后，哥本哈根髋部和腹股沟结果评分有显著改善（P = 0.007至<0.001）。
结果表明，接受或未接受核心训练的腹股沟疼痛足球运动员表现出相似的敏捷性。然而，与对照组相比，足球运动员的自我报告结果有显著改善。因此，临床医生和教练在为该人群设计训练和康复计划以促进恢复时应考虑核心训练。
