Abstract
[Extract] Following any type of athletic hamstring injury, sports medicine clinicians are constantly under pressure to facilitate a quick and safe return of the athlete to training and competition. To meet these challenging requirements, it is essential to combine a range of training parameters to ensure that the athlete is able to work near the limit of
his or her capacity while concurrently ensuring that sufficient time is allowed for the injured tissue to heal. If the athlete is progressed too aggressively during rehabilitation, there may be an increased risk of pain and injury exacerbation, consequently delaying the time to return to sport (RTS). Yet, a too cautious rehabilitation approach
may keep the athlete out of training and competition longer than necessary.
