Why the study?
Do men have a higher risk of groin injuries than women in elite team sports?
Do men have a higher risk of groin injuries than women in elite team sports?
Men appear to have a higher risk of groin injuries compared to women in elite team sports, with hip injuries increasingly diagnosed within this category.
Supports sex-specific groin injury prevention in male athletes; reinforces moderate evidence for targeted strategies in team sports.
There is moderate evidence that men have a higher risk of groin injury than women when playing the same sport. There is some evidence that hip injuries are being increasingly diagnosed in the subset of 'groin injuries' in recent years. It is recommended that injury epidemiology consensus statements aim to include a number of relevant sports to improve injury incidence comparisons among different sports.
