The human body is made up of five groin muscles or adductor muscles; their primary function is in pulling the legs together. Groin muscles are used in sports activities such as horse riding, hurdling, sprinting and soccer. Recurrent activity or excessive use of these muscles can lead to inflammation of the groin or tendon inflammation that connects the muscles to the bone.
