Does an individualized, multifactorial, criteria-based algorithm reduce the risk of reinjury in male football players with hamstring injuries compared to a general protocol?
An individualized, multifactorial algorithm for hamstring injury reduces reinjury risk in male football players despite a slower return to sport.
Although return to sport was slower, male football players who underwent an individualized, multifactorial, criteria-based algorithm with a performance- and primary risk factor-oriented training program from the early stages of the process markedly decreased the risk of reinjury compared with a general protocol where long-length strength training exercises were prioritized.
Mendiguchía et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
