Recurrent hamstring strains after return to play

Seeing multiple 30–40 y/o rec soccer athletes re-injure grade I–II biceps femoris within 2–3 weeks despite pain-free 5/5 strength, symmetric hop tests, and a staged sprint build. Current plan is eccentrics (Nordics twice weekly), progressive high-speed running, and posterior-chain strength, but I’m considering adding isokinetic cutoffs (>90% symmetry at 60/180°/s) and a >95% max sprint tolerance — anyone seeing better durability with stricter RTP thresholds?

@OP I’ve cut recurrences by making RTP contingent on tolerating two consecutive days that include 2–3 flying 20s at ≥95% of their own max plus a couple hard decels — if day 2 performance dips or next-morning symptoms rise, they stay in rehab even with >90% isokinetics; I go gentler for 40+ or proximal-tendon cases. Are you timing flying sprints or using GPS to verify the ≥95%?
