Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Quadriceps muscle strain injuries are prevalent in the Australian Football League (AFL) with each team recording 1-2 new quadriceps strain injuries per season. Little is known about the epidemiology and recovery time frames for quadriceps muscle strain injuries especially when compared to other common muscle injuries in football. This study aimed to describe the epidemiology of quadriceps muscle strain injuries in AFL players. We also aimed to describe recovery milestones and to investigate the influence of clinical factors such as injury type (index or re injury), the primary muscle injured, and the mechanism of injury on recovery timeframes.
