Developing Adductor Function and Strength for Hip Power

Описание: When we think about developing hip power, we typically give the glutes all the glory. After all, they are considered the powerhouse of the hip.

But have you thought about the adductors?

What if I told you that adductor function, strength and power are equally, if not more important than glute strengthening?

Unfortunately, the hip adductors don’t get much love in classic bilateral training exercises and even in many unilateral exercises.

In fact, attention to the adductors only seems to come after a groin injury, and even then, they’re not getting all the attention they deserve…

or at least not enough of it.

I remember the case of a young soccer player. His mom brought him to see me because he kept getting groin strains. He would go to therapy and get better, but as soon as he started playing again, he would have a reoccurrence of injury.

I quickly realized it was because he had never really completed everything it takes in the rehab process to prepare his adductors for the demands of soccer.

You see, it takes more than the hip adduction with an elastic band exercise to prepare the hip adductors for the demands of sport such as sprinting, cutting, kicking (a ball, or someone’s ass if you’re a martial artist), and changing direction.

In this article, we will explore why s function, strength and power of the hip adductors are important and how to appropriately address these for optimal performance.
