Understanding Sports Hernia: Beyond the Name
Exploring the medical aspect, a sports hernia involves a tear or sprain in the muscle, ligament, or tendon in the groin or lower abdominal area. Contrary to its name, it does not actually involve a hernia. Medical sources prefer the term "athletic pubalgia," but it is commonly known as sportsman's hernia or Gilmore's groin.
Sports Hernia and its Association with Rigorous Sports
According to health and fitness guide website WebMD, sports hernias are more common in vigorous sports such as football, cricket, wrestling, and ice hockey. The rotational movements in these sports, combined with a stationary lower body, can lead to tears in the soft tissues of the waist or lower abdomen.
