Return-to-sport testing is a critical component of rehabilitation, yet current practice often places too much emphasis on timelines and not on criteria. This session will provide physical therapy professionals with a practical, evidence-based framework for RTS testing across a variety of athletic populations. Attendees will explore the strengths and limitations of commonly used measures, including strength, hop, agility, endurance, and psychological readiness assessments. Emphasis will be placed on integrating validity and reliability evidence with clinical decision-making, highlighting the risks of relying on timelines or single tests in isolation. Case-based examples will be used to illustrate how clinicians can apply test clusters and workload considerations to support safe and confident return-to-sport decisions. Participants will leave with improved knowledge of best practices and practical tools to incorporate into their own clinical environments, ultimately enhancing outcomes and reducing reinjury risk for athletes of all levels.
