ABSTRACT
Athletic pubalgia is termed as disruption and or separation of the more medical common aponeurosis from the pubis, usually with some degree of adductor tendon pathology. It will most common in the athletes and is caused due to the overuse of the muscle. Hence this study aims to find out the effect of the stretching and strengthening for athletic pubalgia in triple jumpers. This is a single group Pre-Post Experimental study which includes 20 convenient samples aged between 18-25 years males. The subjects were given with stretching and strengthening exercise for 6 weeks. Star Excursion Balance Test [SEBT] is a special test used to diagnose athletic pubalgia among triple jumpers and pain intensity was measured using Numerical Pain Rating Scale [NPRS]. On comparing the Mean Values of Numerical Pain Rating Scale between pre- test and post- test values within the Experimental Group shows highly significant difference at p≤ 0.001. The study concluded that stretching and strengthening exercise are more effective in reducing pain and discomforts for athletic pubalgia among triple jumpers.
