Abstract

The present scoping review aims to describe the available criteria to determine Return-To-Play (RTP), propose methodological considerations and new research questions, and provide information to help practitioners in professional football make informed decisions regarding RTP following a hamstring strain injury (HSI) in professional male football. The following electronic databases were searched: PubMed, MEDLINE, web of science and SPORTDiscus using keywords related to HSI in elite football. All types of studies in English reporting at least one RTP criterion for professional football players who sustained an HSI were included. In total, 19 studies met the inclusion criteria. RTP criteria were divided into three categories: clinical, strength and performance criteria. Clinical criteria were also divided into sub-categories: absence of pain, hamstring flexibility, medical staff clearance, psychological readiness, surgeon's opinion and imaging. Practitioners working in professional male football could benefit from using a combination of criteria in their RTP battery of tests.

本范围界定综述旨在描述确定恢复比赛（RTP）的现有标准，提出方法学方面的注意事项和新的研究问题，并提供相关信息，帮助职业足球从业人员就职业男子足球运动员腿筋拉伤（HSI）后的恢复比赛做出知情决策。检索了以下电子数据库：PubMed、MEDLINE、web of science 和 SPORTDiscus，使用的关键词均与精英足球中的 HSI 相关。所有类型的英文研究均被纳入，这些研究报告了至少一项关于职业足球运动员 HSI 的 RTP 标准。共有 19 项研究符合纳入标准。RTP 标准分为三类：临床标准、力量标准和表现标准。临床标准又分为几个子类别：无痛、腿筋灵活性、医务人员许可、心理准备、外科医生意见和成像。在职业男子足球领域工作的医生可以在他们的 RTP 测试中综合使用这些标准。
