Predictors of time to return to play and reinjury following hamstring strain injuries with and without tendon involvement in professional football

Background Hamstring strain injury (HSI) account for ~12% of all injuries in professional football. It is suggested HSIs extending into the intramuscular tendon are more prone to reinjury, resulting in greater time-loss and delayed time to return to play (RTP). Currently, there is a lack of evidence regarding the effects of HSI with and without intramuscular tendon involvement as well as the impact of factors such as removal of a player and grade.
