Background Lower limb muscle strain injury is highly prevalent in running-based sports and
is considered a risk factor for recurrent injury. It is possible that differences in muscle activity …

Hamstring strain injuries during sprinting or stretching frequently occur at long‐muscle
length. Yet, previous research has mainly focused on studying the effectiveness of eccentric …

Purpose: The optimal approach to hamstring training is heavily debated. Eccentric exercises
reduce injury risk; however, it is argued that these exercises transfer poorly to improved …

The aim of this study was to compare the distribution of activation among the three heads of
the hamstring between a knee flexion-oriented exercise (Nordic hamstring) and a hip …

Featured Application Hamstring strain injuries occur particularly in the later stages of a
football match, suggesting that fatigue may play an important role. Moreover, sprinting is the …

Purpose Cortical mechanisms may contribute to weakness in participants with previous
hamstring strain injury. This study aims to examine intra-cortical inhibition (SICI) and …

This study sought to examine the active stiffness of semitendinosus (ST) and biceps femoris
long head (BFlh) during a knee flexor isometric contraction at 20% of maximal voluntary …

This study aimed to determine the test–retest reliability of a range of transcranial magnetic
stimulation (TMS) outcomes in the biceps femoris during isometric, eccentric and concentric …

INTRODUCTION Previous studies have reported a gradual decrease in biceps femoris (BF)
electromyography (EMG) activity after the break-point angle (BPA) during the Nordic …

This study aimed to investigate the hamstring onset time and recruitment level during
jumping tasks in athletes with chronic hamstring strain injuries. Thirteen hamstring injured …
