The relationship between hip muscle strength and lateral hip muscle morphology in active young adults with hip/groin pain

Introduction: Hip/groin pain is a common issue among young active adults. Weakness in the lateral hip muscles, including the gluteal muscles and tensor fascia latae, is often seen in individuals with hip/groin pain, which can impact sporting performance and daily activities. Muscle morphology (size and fatty infiltrate) has been demonstrated as a contributing factor in force development of muscles (e.g., strength). The aim of this study is to investigate whether a relationship exists between lateral hip muscle size, fatty infiltrate, and hip muscle strength in active young adults with hip/groin pain.
