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.
