AI Article Synopsis
- - Hamstring strain injuries are frequent in athletes and need rehabilitation for effective recovery and to reduce reinjury risks.
- - While athletes often return to their sport within weeks, many experience performance issues and a high chance of reinjury afterward.
- - Practitioners like athletic trainers and physical therapists must understand injury causes, conduct thorough exams, and safely progress rehabilitation to enhance recovery outcomes based on current evidence.
Article Abstract
Hamstring strain injuries are common among athletes and often require rehabilitation to prepare players for a timely return to sport performance while also minimizing reinjury risk. Return to sport is typically achieved within weeks of the injury; however, subsequent athlete performance may be impaired, and reinjury rates are high. Improving these outcomes requires rehabilitation practitioners (eg, athletic trainers and physical therapists) to understand the causes and mechanisms of hamstring strain injury, know how to perform a thorough clinical examination, and progress loading to the site of injury safely and effectively. This narrative review discusses current clinical concepts related to these aspects of rehabilitation for hamstring strain injury, with the aim of helping practitioners improve athletes' outcomes. Collectively, this knowledge will inform the implementation of evidence-based rehabilitation interventions.

With the remarkable advances in diagnostic ultrasound equipment, there is a growing need for ultrasound diagnosis of muscle and soft tissue injuries in sports injuries. Among these, hamstring strains are often difficult to treat and require early and accurate diagnosis. Injuries to the proximal part of the hamstring often take a long time to heal.

Background: Sports-related injuries remain a significant problem for collegiate baseball players. Although some studies reported the epidemiology of sports-related injuries among collegiate baseball players, the latest information on sport-related injuries should be provided.
Purpose: To examine the current trends of sports-related injuries among collegiate baseball players in the Pacific 12 (PAC-12) Conference.
Prospectively collected injury surveillance data are essential for designing and implementing injury prevention programmes. We investigated the incidence, characteristics and patterns of professional football injuries in Qatar, providing details on the most observed injuries' burden. We prospectively recorded individual time-loss injuries and training/match exposure from 17 professional football teams in Qatar during 8 seasons (2014/15 to 2021/22).

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine whether a soccer match affects the rapid force-generating capacity of the hamstring muscles, given their key role in both horizontal ground reaction force production during sprint biomechanics, and in the deceleration of the shank during the late swing phase, where rapid force production is essential owing to time constraints. Therefore, the research objective was to determine soccer match-induced hamstrings residual fatigue and recovery through rate of torque development (RTD) and associated biochemical parameters.
Methods: The recovery kinetics of hamstrings RTD metrics by the 90°:20° test, together with serum biomarkers (creatine kinase, mitochondrial creatine kinase, transaminases, malondialdehyde, irisin), were assessed in 19 male, regional first-division soccer players (age = 20.
