Description
Advanced Performance Assessment & Integrated On-Field Rehabilitation
A specialized two-day intensive workshop designed for health and sports performance professionals who wish to develop their skills in functional assessment, performance analysis and the implementation of advanced on-field rehabilitation strategies.
The program combines modern methods of functional assessment, neuromuscular evaluation and performance testing with applied practices of on-field rehabilitation and return-to-play progression. Through practical training in laboratory, gym and competitive environments, participants will learn to assess, design and implement comprehensive high-level rehabilitation pathways.
Particular emphasis is placed on the transition from clinical rehabilitation to sport-specific reintegration, using principles of load management, ecological dynamics and decision-making under fatigue.
Purpose
During the workshop, participants will acquire the necessary skills to:
• the comprehensive functional and ergometric evaluation of athletes,
• the interpretation of performance testing and asymmetry profiling data,
• planning rehabilitation progressions based on objective criteria,
• implementing on-field rehabilitation drills and return-to-play strategies,
• and the creation of sport-specific rehabilitation protocols for athletes in team and individual sports.
Who is it addressed to?
• Physiotherapists
• Fitness trainers
• Sports scientists
• Students of the above specialties
• Professionals working with athletes in a recovery or performance stage
Scientific program managers

• Use objective testing criteria in making rehabilitation decisions
• They design progressive on-field rehabilitation sessions based on the On FI.RE. Framework
• Implement load management strategies in a return-to-play environment
• Create sport-specific rehabilitation pathways based on the ON FI.RE Framework
• Support evidence-based return to training and competition
Program
Functional & Diagnostic Evaluation in Sports Rehabilitation

Description
Muscle Injuries: Modern Rehabilitation & Return-to-Play Strategies
A specialized webinar dedicated to lower limb muscle injuries and modern rehabilitation strategies applied in the elite sport environment.
The webinar focuses on understanding muscle architecture, injury mechanisms, and biological phases of healing, connecting theoretical knowledge with practical rehabilitation and return-to-play progression guidelines.
Particular emphasis will be given to the most common muscle injuries of the lower extremities, the differences between sprint-related and stretch-related injuries, as well as the objective criteria used for a safe return to competitive activity.
Purpose
During the webinar, participants will acquire the necessary skills to:
• recognition and understanding of the most common muscle injuries of the lower extremities,
• the analysis of healing phases and tissue regeneration mechanisms,
• the design of progressive rehabilitation loading strategies,
• the differentiation of rehabilitation approaches depending on the mechanism of injury,
• and the implementation of evidence-based return-to-play criteria.
Who is it addressed to?
• Physiotherapists
• Fitness trainers
• Sports scientists
• Students of the above specialties
• Professionals working with athletes in a recovery or performance stage
Scientific program managers
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the webinar, participants will be able to:
• Recognize the basic categories of muscle injuries
• Understand the relationship between muscle architecture and injury mechanism
• Implement progressive loading strategies during rehabilitation
• Differentiate sprint-related and stretch-related rehabilitation protocols
• Use objective RTP criteria in clinical practice
• Plan a safe progression towards returning to training and competition
Program
• Muscle architecture: parallel vs. pennate fibers
• Classification: Grade I–III, location (MTJ vs. belly vs. tendon involvement)
• Healing phases & regeneration vs. scar formation
• Load progressions: early isometrics → eccentric → functional plyometrics
• Sprint-related rehab (hamstrings) vs. stretch-related (adductors, quads)
• Criteria for RTP: strength ratios, pain-free function, sprint metrics
• to identify the most common muscular injuries of the lower extremity and provide relevant details about each.
