The high-energy and short-distances regime of the strong interaction is successfully described by Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) involving quark and gluon degrees of freedom. In the low-energy and large-distances regime, QCD-inspired effective models are needed to describe the observed phenomena. These models predict a modification of the properties of hadrons in nuclear matter from their free-space values. A review of the theoretical and experimental approach to the in-medium modifications of light hadrons will be given.
