Dear Lybrateuser, - Supporter is needed for athletes as the exercise & weight training routine can strain the abdominal & pelvic structures, also will help in preventing hernia - do inguinal (groin) stretching exercises which can help reduce pain, also do warm up by stretching for 5-10 min before the run or any other activity.
