Ultrasound (US) imaging has been widely used in both research and clinical settings to
evaluate the morphological and mechanical properties of muscle and tendon. In elite sports …

Hamstring strains are a frequent injury in sports and are characterized by a high recurrence
rate. The aim of this review was to examine the muscle and tendon architecture in …

Despite the increase in research of hamstring stiffness through the use of ultrasound-based
shear wave elastography, the active stiffness of biceps femoris long head (BFlh) and …

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 …

Large inter‐individual variability of activation strategies is observed during hamstring
strengthening exercises but their consequences remain unexplored. The objective of this …

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 …

Objective The aim of this study was to explore expert opinion to identify the components of
sprinting technique they believed to be risk factors for hamstring strain injuries (HSI). Design …

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 …

Objectives To compare the muscle activation of the biceps femoris (BF), semitendinosus
(ST), gluteus maximus (GM), and contralateral erector spinae (ES) in four specific eccentric …

Purpose The aim of this study was to determine whether a 9‐week resistance training
program based on high load (HL) versus low load combined with blood flow restriction (LL …
