Hamstring injuries receive widespread attention in sports science and medicine due to their impact on athlete performance, health and time loss burden. On the topic of hamstring injury prevention and rehabilitation, ~30 reviews have been published since 2011, alongside clinical practice guidelines (comprehensive list in online supplemental material) and a recent consensus.1–3 The aim of this editorial is to offer a perspective on the existing hamstring injury prevention and rehabilitation literature, highlighting current limitations that could benefit from different research paths in the future.### Supplementary data [bjsports-2023-106878supp001.pdf] Research on hamstring injury risk has provided rich evidence on surrogate outcomes (eg, strength or flexibility), which may deliver valuable information about injury risk factors. Surrogate outcomes are easier to collect, particularly in shorter time frames,4 and may provide important cues for developing larger trials on injury prevention. Injury prevention trials are usually expensive and time-consuming and are less commonly performed. For example, a recent systematic review included 108 published randomised controlled trials (RCTs) on hamstring prevention and risk factor management.5 Only four RCTs (3.7% of all trials) were focused on prevention and assessed injury incidence, all other trials assessed risk factor management (through surrogate outcomes).5 …

重温腿筋损伤预防和康复文献：填补空白！

腿筋损伤因其对运动员表现、健康和时间损失负担的影响而受到运动科学和医学的广泛关注。关于腿筋损伤预防和康复主题，自 2011 年以来已发表约 30 篇评论，同时还发布了临床实践指南（在线补充材料中的综合列表）和最近的共识。1-3 这篇社论的目的是提供一个观点现有的腿筋损伤预防和康复文献，强调了当前的局限性，这些局限性可能会从未来的不同研究路径中受益。###补充数据[bjsports-2023-106878supp001.pdf]关于腿筋损伤风险的研究为替代结果提供了丰富的证据（例如，力量或灵活性），这可以提供有关受伤风险因素的有价值的信息。替代结果更容易收集，特别是在较短的时间内，4并且可能为开展更大规模的伤害预防试验提供重要线索。伤害预防试验通常既昂贵又耗时，而且很少进行。例如，最近的一项系统综述包括 108 项已发表的关于腿筋预防和危险因素管理的随机对照试验 (RCT)。5 只有 4 项随机对照试验（占所有试验的 3.7%）侧重于预防和评估损伤发生率，所有其他试验都评估了危险因素管理（通过替代结果）。5 …
