VBT for ACL Return to Play: A Step-by-Step Velocity-Based Protocol

Bar velocity, CMJ limb symmetry, and velocity loss give objective return-to-play data after ACL reconstruction. Use them alongside surgeon clearance.

Isometric Strength Deficits as Injury Risk Predictors: Evidence Review

A 423-athlete cohort found isometric limb symmetry under 90% predicted 2.4x higher hamstring injury odds. How to test it and act on the number in-season.
