Abstract
Athletes return to sport requires a complete assessment of performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between test (four hop tests, single leg vertical jump and T test) and performance indicators in athletes with a history of knee anterior cruciate ligament repair to return to the sport. Subjects 40 football players with an average age of 28.4, height 175.2 and the weight of 75.4 were last at of reconstruction surgery. Six criteria for the functional test of strength, range of motion and knee proprioception and indicators to evaluate the sensitivity of each test method was evaluated by Pearson correlation coefficient. Assessing between test and indicator showing significant correlation between the tests and there are no performance indicators in the samples. In return to sport phase, functional tests and indexes, range of motion and proprioception, Each individual must be considered in evaluating the athletes return to sport.
