Zusammenfassung

Beim Australian Rules Football (AFL) sind Leistenverletzungen eine weit verbreitete Funktionsstörung. Derartige Verletzungen umfassen Schambeinentzündung, Adduktorentendinopathie, Adduktorenmuskelzerrung, Leistenhernie und Läsionen benachbarter Sehnen, Beckenüberlastung, Avulsionsfrakturen sowie Zerrungen der Hüft- und unteren Bauchmuskulatur.

Der Artikel stellt einen effektiven Behandlungsansatz bei Leistenverletzungen dar, der über einen Zeitraum von 8 Jahren implementiert wurde und zu einer 74,9 %igen Verbesserung im AFL-Wettkampf führte.

Abstract

In the Australian Rules Football (AFL) competition groin injuries are a common disabling problem. Such injuries include osteitis pubis, adductor tendinopathy, adductor muscle strains, inguinal hernias, conjoint tendon lesions, pelvic stress, avulsion fractures as well as lower abdominal and hip flexor strains.

This paper outlines an effective management approach for groin injuries, implemented over an 8 year period, which contributed to a 74.9 percent better outcome within the elite AFL competition.
