Overview

Heterogeneity in HMI definitions warrants clinical caution; leaves open whether new classifications will standardize future research.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Athletes with hamstring muscle injuries (HMI), particularly in sprinting and jumping disciplines

This review highlights that previous injury is the main risk factor for hamstring muscle injuries in athletics and emphasizes the need for individualized rehabilitation and standardized injury definitions.

Limitations

  • Considerable heterogeneity in injury definitions and reporting methodologies among studies
