Most injuries occurred in non-contact situations (71%), following a quick reaction to a change in play (53%). Injury actions were: change of direction (35%), kicking (29%), reaching (24%) and jumping (12%). Change of direction and reaching injuries were categorised as closed chain movements (59%), characterised by hip extension and abduction with external rotation. Kicking and jumping injuries were categorised as open chain (41%), characterised by a change from hip extension to hip flexion, and hip abduction to adduction, with external rotation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Acute adductor longus injuries in football occur in a variety of situations. Player actions can be categorised into closed (change of direction and reaching) and open (kicking and jumping) chain movements involving triplanar hip motion. A rapid muscle activation during a rapid muscle lengthening appears to be the fundamental injury mechanism for acute adductor longus injuries.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2018-099246","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,13]],"date-time":"2018-07-13T12:17:21Z","timestamp":1531484241000},"page":"158-164","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":102,"title":["Mechanisms of acute adductor longus injuries in male football players: a systematic visual video analysis"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"53","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4308-901X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andreas","family":"Serner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7353-2583","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea Britt","family":"Mosler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Johannes L","family":"Tol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roald","family":"Bahr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adam","family":"Weir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024051413345099000_53.3.158.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2015-094705"},{"key":"2024051413345099000_53.3.158.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546510395879"},{"key":"2024051413345099000_53.3.158.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2016-097277"},{"key":"2024051413345099000_53.3.158.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.2009.066944"},{"key":"2024051413345099000_53.3.158.5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"667","DOI":"10.1111\/sms.12936","article-title":"Characteristics of acute groin injuries in the adductor muscles: a\u00a0detailed MRI study in athletes","volume":"28","author":"Serner","year":"2018","journal-title":"Scand J Med Sci Sports"},{"key":"2024051413345099000_53.3.158.6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Serner A , Tol JL , Jomaah N , et al .
