The goal of this observational study is to learn about the frequency and characteristics of adductor-related groin symptoms in adolescent Taekwondo athletes aged 12-17 years. The main questions it aims to answer are:
How common are adductor-related groin symptoms in adolescent Taekwondo athletes?
Do athletes with these symptoms show differences in hip strength, joint range of motion, or functional level compared to athletes without symptoms?
Participants will complete a brief screening about their groin pain and training habits, followed by:
Clinical tests of the hip and groin region (resisted adduction, palpation, FABER, and FADIR tests)
Strength testing of hip abductor and adductor muscles using a hand-held dynamometer
Range of motion measurements of the hip using a goniometer
A self-reported questionnaire (Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score - HAGOS) to assess daily activity and sports function
Data from this study will help identify early signs of adductor-related groin problems and guide preventive and rehabilitation strategies for young Taekwondo athletes
