Hamstring injuries are very common in athletes. Acute hamstring strains can occur with high-speed running or with excessive hamstring lengthening. Athletes with proximal hamstring tendinopathy often do not report a specific inciting event; instead they develop the pathology from chronic overuse. A thorough history and examination is important to determine the appropriate diagnosis and rule out other causes of posterior thigh pain. Conservative management of hamstring strains involves a rehabilitation protocol that gradually increases intensity, range of motion and progresses to sport-specific and neuromuscular control exercises. Eccentric strengthening exercises are used for management of proximal hamstring tendinopathy. Studies investigating corticosteroid and platelet-rich plasma injections have mixed results. MRI and ultrasound are effective for identification of hamstring strains and tendinopathy, but have not demonstrated correlation with return to play. The article focuses on diagnosis, treatment and return to play considerations for acute hamstring strains and proximal hamstring tendinopathy in the athlete.

“…To ignore the athlete conditioning session at such a vital time may lead to injuries in upcoming competitive phase [12]. The management goals when treating hamstring injuries are to achieve maximal reduction in pain intensity as quickly as possible, to rehabilitate every individual's muscle pain [13], to function your body for everyday activities, to facilitate the injured passage through the legal impediments rehabilitation [14]. In current phenomena of sprint demand the condition of muscle ability need to try several treatment to determine what work best for them [15].…”

Despite to investigate the possible existence hamstring injuries of college sprinters are common and incidence rates have not declined in recent times. Furthermore sprinting is known as fastest activity so hamstring with respect to injury location, tissue and muscle associated with correct diagnosis based with history on time as well adequate knowledge to the athletes are equally essential. Additionally high rate of hamstring tightness and pain was unknown, while increasing pain may lead to accumulated muscle damage.

Background Patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome‐CoV‐2 can present physical complications that can make the return to their daily physical activities difficult. Despite the positive results in different pathologies through musculoskeletal physiotherapy, there are few reports in post‐COVID‐19 patients. This case describes an intervention based on musculoskeletal physiotherapy in a post‐COVID‐19 adult woman with physical sequelae. Methods As part of an initial evaluation in a woman with physical sequelaes post‐COVID‐19, it was decided to conduct a musculoskeletal physiotherapy over a course of 5 weeks distributed in 15 visits. To evaluate her progress the joint ranges were evaluated according to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS), the Numerical pain scale was used, the muscle strength evaluated according to the Daniel Scale, and finally the Unipodal Station Test used. Results Musculoskeletal physiotherapy improved the patient's physical symptoms. The patient's pain was reduced from a value of 10 to 3; the strength of the musculature increased from a value of 2 to 4; initial joint ranges were expanded from 67% to 100% in various body segments. Finally, the woman managed to stay up to 8 s in the monopodal position. Discussion Using musculoskeletal physical therapy and measuring progress through quantitative measurements at each visit, a post‐COVID‐19 woman was able to resume her daily physical activities. This therapy is a valuable tool to recover the musculoskeletal system that proves to be an important advance in the recovery of the quality of life in patients with musculoskeletal sequelae from COVID‐19.
