Objectives: To investigate hip pain, hip range of motion and the presence and size of cam morphology among young soccer players and skiers. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: The hip joints of young male soccer players and male and female skiers were examined clinically for hip range of motion (ROM) and with MRI (the presence of cam morphology). All participants answered questions about hip pain, debut age for training/competing and training frequency. Results: Clinical examinations were performed on 135 athletes (60 male soccer players, 40 male skiers and 35 female skiers), of which 93 athletes had additional MRIs. Mean age was 17.7 (SD 1.2) years. Cam morphology (α-angle ≥60°) was significantly less present in female skiers (3%) compared with male skiers (38%, p
