Return-to-Sport Testing
What to Test. What It Tells You. What to Do Next.
A research-based clinical reference designed to help sports medicine professionals move beyond pass/fail testing and use objective data to guide rehabilitation and return-to-sport decision-making.
- Strength testing beyond limb symmetry
- Jump, hop and reactive strength testing
- Running, deceleration and change-of-direction
- Upper-extremity return-to-sport testing

Guide
Evidence You Can Actually Use
Research-Based
Built from consensus statements, systematic reviews, clinical guidelines and key return-to-sport research.
Clinically Useful
Focused on what testing results actually mean for rehabilitation, progression and decision-making.
Practical
Built for clinicians working with real athletes, not only practitioners with access to performance labs.
Go Beyond a Pass / Fail Number.
Clinical status, capacity, performance, movement, psychology and sport exposure.
Understand why limb symmetry alone may overestimate recovery.
Consider both performance outcomes and the strategy used to achieve them.
Progress from controlled testing toward the actual demands of sport.
Integrate strength, function, kinetic-chain contribution and sport-specific demands.
Use testing to guide what you change in the athlete's rehabilitation plan.
