Core Muscle Injuries in Baseball Players.

The muscles that attach to the pubic bone (rectus abdominis, adductor longus, pectineus, and adductor brevis) constitute a harness that serves as the bedrock of core stability and underpinning the athleticism that defines performance in sports. Their attachment to the pubic bone is a point of weakness that, when disrupted, results in pain and a loss of athleticism. These injuries are not uncommon in baseball. A comprehensive understanding of their function and the commonality of injuries in this area is crucial for developing effective interventions aimed at enhancing athletic longevity and minimizing the risk of injury.
