Return-to-Play

Structured, Evidence-Based Return-to-Play

No guesswork about when a player is ready. The 5-phase return-to-play protocol provides a clear, structured pathway from acute rest through to full contact clearance. Each phase has specific exercises, criteria for progression, and minimum time requirements — ensuring players return safely and at the right time.

Phase 1: Acute Rest — 24-48 hours minimum
Phase 2: Light Aerobic — HR below 70%, no resistance
Phase 3: Sport-Specific — Football drills, no contact
Phase 4: Non-Contact Training — Full training, no tackling
Phase 5: Full Contact & Clearance — Match-ready

AI Prevention

AI That Predicts Injuries Before They Happen

The Performance Centre's AI analyses workload data, wellness surveys, training intensity, GPS strain, growth velocity, and injury history to flag at-risk players before they break down. Coaches receive actionable alerts — reduce this player's load, extend their warm-up, or schedule a physio check — preventing injuries rather than just treating them.

AI analyses GPS workload, wellness, and training intensity
Automatic flagging of players with elevated injury risk
Bio-banding data factored in — Circa-PHV athletes flagged
Rapid growth detection (>6 cm/year) triggers additional alerts
Historical injury pattern analysis per player
Recommended load adjustments with specific actions

AI Injury Risk Monitor

High Risk

KB

K. Baxter Forward · Circa-PHV · Growth: 7.1 cm/yr

High-intensity distance +32% over 3 weeks

Circa-PHV — peak growth phase (elevated soft tissue risk)

Sleep quality rated "poor" in last 2 wellness surveys

Reduce high-intensity volume by 30% this week. Extended warm-up protocol. Schedule physio assessment.

Moderate Risk

RT

R. Thomson Midfielder · Previous hamstring injury (Oct)

Re-injury window: within 6 months of previous hamstring strain

Sprint count above season average for 2 consecutive sessions

Monitor closely. Ensure full warm-up before sprinting drills.

Exercise Library

Phase-Specific Rehabilitation Exercises

Each RTP phase has its own set of prescribed exercises — from gentle mobility work in Phase 1 to full football drills in Phase 4. Physios assign exercises to players, track completion, and adjust intensity. For Circa-PHV athletes, the system automatically limits intensity to 75-80% of normal volume and adds maturity-specific precautions.

Track completion and progression per exercise
Video demonstrations for correct form
Circa-PHV players: auto-reduced intensity + precaution alerts
