Main focus
Tests the Copenhagen adduction exercise on hip adductor strength in male footballers.
Key lesson
A simple bodyweight side plank variation can seriously boost adductor strength, a key groin risk factor.
My take
If your wingers aren’t doing Copenhagens, don’t act surprised when the groins go during the Christmas fixture pile-up… fight me.
