FAQs

What is return-to-sport testing?
Return-to-sport testing is a comprehensive evaluation used to determine whether an athlete is physically ready to safely return to practice or competition after an injury or surgery. The assessment measures strength, balance, agility, power, flexibility, and movement quality to ensure the athlete has recovered sufficiently and can return to activity with a lower risk of reinjury.
  • Return-to-sport testing is recommended for athletes recovering from injuries such as:
    • ACL reconstruction
    • Meniscus or cartilage injuries
    • Ankle sprains
    • Shoulder injuries
    • Muscle strains
    • Fractures
    • Other sports-related injuries requiring rehabilitation
  • Testing is appropriate for athletes of all ages, from youth sports to collegiate and recreational athletes.
  • A return-to-sport evaluation may include:
    • Strength testing
    • Single-leg balance assessments
    • Hop and jump tests
    • Agility and change-of-direction drills
    • Speed and power testing
    • Functional movement analysis
    • Sport-specific movement assessments
  • These tests help identify any remaining deficits that could increase the risk of reinjury.
Returning to sports too soon can increase the risk of reinjury and delay long-term recovery. Return-to-sport testing provides objective measurements of your recovery rather than relying solely on how you feel. The results help your healthcare team determine whether you’re ready to safely return to competition or if additional rehabilitation is needed.
No. While no assessment can completely eliminate the risk of injury, return-to-sport testing helps identify weaknesses, movement imbalances, and functional limitations that may increase your risk. Meeting established return-to-sport criteria gives athletes the best chance of returning safely and performing confidently while reducing the likelihood of reinjury.
