Match High-Speed Running Distances Are Often Suppressed After Return From Hamstring Strain Injury in Professional Footballers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

High-speed running is commonly implicated in the genesis of hamstring injury. The success of hamstring injury management is typically quantified by the duration of time loss or reinjury rate. These metrics do not consider any loss in performance after returning to play from hamstring injury. It is not known to what extent high-speed running is altered on return to play after such injury.

Hypothesis

Match high-speed running distance will change after returning from hamstring injury.

Study design

Non-randomized cohort.

Level of evidence

Level 3.

Methods

Match high-speed running distance in highest level professional football (soccer, Rugby League, Rugby Union, and Australian Rules) were examined for a minimum of 5 games prior and subsequent to h
