This Thesis aimed at studying the prevalence and severity and broadening the knowledge of aetiology and risk factors of groin injuries in male football. The four papers, which form part of this Thesis, are based on the same research project conducted on a cohort of amateur players from 17 Spanish teams. Variables such as information about groin pain in the previous season, pre-season short- and long-lever hip adductor squeeze strength, together with demographic and anthropometric data were collected at pre-season. Hip- and groin-related sporting function was registered at baseline, and every fourth week during the in-season, using the Sport and Recreation subscale from The Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS (Sport)) questionnaire. Time-loss groin injuries, registered by the team physiotherapist, in addition to self-reported groin pain, irrespective of time loss, were registered over 44 weeks to document all groin problems, and groin problems with and without time loss ​
