Key result
Recent hamstring injury linked to a 0.05-second greater speed drop during repeated sprints.
Why the study?
Does a history of hamstring strain injury increase the drop in speed during a repeated sprint test in soccer players?
Comparison

Recent hamstring injury linked to greater repeated-sprint decrement; leaves open causality and need for prospective rehab trials.

Does a history of hamstring strain injury increase the drop in speed during a repeated sprint test in soccer players?
Absolute Event Rate: 0.07% vs 0.02%
p-value: p=0.007
A repeated sprint test can identify soccer players with previous hamstring strain injuries who may have insufficient rehabilitation and need reconditioning.
Røksund et al. (2017) conducted a cross-sectional in Former hamstring strain injury (n=75). Former hamstring strain injury vs. No former hamstring strain injury was evaluated on Drop in speed during a repeated sprint test (8 x 20 m) (p=0.007). Soccer players who reported a hamstring strain injury during the previous 2 years had a significantly higher drop in speed (0.07 vs. 0.02 s) during a repeated sprint test compared to uninjured players.
