Hip and groin pain in male field hockey players: Prevalence, incidence and associations with patient reported outcome scores and hip muscle strength
Investigate point prevalence (second half season 2018–2019) and incidence (season 2017–2018 and first half season 2018–2019) of non-time-loss and time-loss hip/groin pain in male field hockey players. Secondary aims were to study associations between: current/previous hip/groin pain and hip muscle s...

Summary: | Investigate point prevalence (second half season 2018–2019) and incidence (season 2017–2018 and first half season 2018–2019) of non-time-loss and time-loss hip/groin pain in male field hockey players. Secondary aims were to study associations between: current/previous hip/groin pain and hip muscle strength, patient reported outcome measures (PROM) and hip muscle strength, and previous hip/groin pain and PROMs. Additionally we studied normal values for the PROMs (Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS)).
Cross-sectional study.
Testing at field hockey clubs.
100 male field hockey players (elite, sub-elite and amateur).
Point prevalence and incidence of hip/groin pain, strength: eccentric adduction and abduction, adductor squeeze, HAGOS.
Hip/groin pain point prevalence was 17% (time-loss: 6%) and incidence was 36% (time-loss: 12%). Presence of current or previous hip/groin and lower HAGOS-values were not associated with lower hip muscle strength. Previous hip/groin pain was associated with a significant lower HAGOS-values in all domains, except for the ‘participation in physical activities’ domain.
Hip/groin pain is common in field hockey. One fifth of players have hip/groin pain and one third had pain in the previous season. Previous hip/groin pain was associated with worse ongoing patient reported outcomes in most domains.
•One fifth of field hockey players have hip/groin pain.•One third of field hockey players develop hip/groin pain during the season.•Current and previous hip/groin pain are not associated with decreased hip strength.•Low HAGOS values are not associated with decreased hip muscle strength.•Players with previous hip/groin pain experience a higher level of hip/groin problems in the next season. |
