Return to Performance Protocols and Criteria Specific to Aerobic Capacity for Aerobic Athletes Who Sustain Lower Extremity Injuries: A Narrative Review
Abstract:Return to performance (RTP) protocols vary greatly between sports due to energy system involvement, physical and biomechanical skills, injury type and severity, and varied recommendations from members of the interprofessional care team. Return decisions are guided by clinical reasoning, expert opinion, experience, and sport-specific frameworks. Lower extremity injuries that prevent athletes from continuous aerobic training lead to decreased aerobic capacity upon return, which is linked to increased risk of inj… Show more
