Groin pain can affect both player and team performance and sometimes can be a career\u2010ending injury. The aim of this study was to assess seasonal groin pain prevalence and the average seasonal time loss from sport for each injury in different team sport athletes. The hip and groin functionality at the beginning of the following season was also investigated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross\u2010sectional study was undertaken on 600 team sport athletes (soccer, futsal, basketball, volleyball, and water polo players). The seasonal prevalence of groin pain, level of competition (professional and non\u2010professional), time loss, and concomitant injuries in addition to groin pain were reported and analyzed. The Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS) was used to assess hip and groin pain and function related to sport and activity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among the 506 (84%) players included, 123 players (24.3%) reported groin pain. Overall, soccer players reported the highest groin pain prevalence (32.5%) followed by futsal (25.5%), basketball (25.2%), water polo (17.6%) and volleyball players (13.6%). Professional soccer, futsal and basketball athletes showed higher groin pain prevalence in comparison with non\u2010professional athletes (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.02,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.005 and\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.004, respectively). The mean time loss from sport due to groin pain was 60.3\u2009\u00b1\u200966\u00a0days in soccer, 41.1\u2009\u00b1\u200916.6\u00a0days in futsal, 31.5\u2009\u00b1\u200918\u00a0days in water polo, 37.2\u2009\u00b1\u200914.2\u00a0days in basketball and 50.8\u2009\u00b1\u200924.6\u00a0days in volleyball. Significantly lower HAGOS values were found in athletes with groin pain for all sports evaluated compared to athletes with no groin pain history (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009\u20090.0001). Longer time loss from sport was correlated with lower HAGOS values in soccer (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.002) and futsal (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.002) players with groin pain.
