Objective[edit | edit source]

Evidence[edit | edit source]
It is recommended that an athlete has to score >90% on the tests to have a reduced risk of reinjury or injury. Quality of take-off and landing mechanics should also be assessed, on top of quantitive scores.
The hop tests are also not used as standalone in return to sports, Recent research has shown that RTS should be based on meeting key performance criteria, including full range of motion of affected joint, comparable muscle strength and power, running and neuromuscular control.
