Mechanisms of Severe Adductor Longus Injuries in Professional Soccer Players: A Systematic Visual Video Analysis
Severe adductor longus injuries occurred predominantly during CKC actions, particularly when reaching for the ball with the uninjured leg. These injuries were consistently characterized by a combination of hip extension, abduction, and external rotation. A crucial aspect in these injuries appears to be the involvement of an eccentric muscle action, featuring rapid muscle activation during rapid muscle lengthening.
