It is important to understand that this return is a constant, dynamic, and personalized decision-making process . The main objective of RTP is not to predict the exact moment of an athlete's return; rather, it is to prevent new injuries. For this, adequate decision-making is necessary. There are several important steps in the process, including correct diagnosis, strict control of workloads, and intelligent management of modifiers intrinsic to the sport that can lead to anxiety and stress\n\nHow are the pieces of the RTP puzzle arranged and managed?\n\nHow are RTP processes evaluated today?\n\nHow should RTP be understood? Should it be understood statically, as a checklist, or as a constant decision-making process involving the player?\n\nMain objective: Evaluate the design of the RTP process for muscle injuries in sports.\n\nSpecific objectives:\n\n* To compare two RTP designs and evaluate how their design influences the anxiety experienced by the player.\n* Identify variables that may be altered when choosing a regressive or progressive RTP design, such as sleep quality and cortisol level.\n* To establish direction in the design of the RTP process.\n* Create complete clinical guidelines on muscle injuries in sports with a focus on RTP design.\n\nMaterial and Methods\n\nDefinition of the Study Subjects\n\nThe subjects of the study will be all players belonging to the first or B team who suffer a muscle injury diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging. At the time of injury, they will be randomly assigned to either the control group (following a regressive RTP design) or the intervention group (following a progressive RTP design). Masking will be double-blind. The sample size will be N=74.\n\nThe secondary variables will be recorded in the database after diagnosis by MRI. Subsequently, the primary variables will be measured and recorded at the beginning, middle, and end of the RTP period.\n\nIt is estimated that approximately half of the necessary sample size has been reached: about 37 subjects with muscle injury. The first statistical analysis will then be carried out to observe the preliminary results.\n\nAfter three years, once the analysis has been completed, the results and conclusions will be written up for publication in a journal.",[28,29],"Muscle Injuries","Football Players",[31,32,33],"Return to play","Design","effects","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-06-14",{"date":37,"type":38},"2025-06-18","ACTUAL",{"date":40,"type":22},"2025-09-01",{"date":42,"type":22},"2028-09-01",{"name":44,"class":45},"Universitat de les Illes Balears","OTHER"]
