Hamstring strain injuries (HSIs) are common in a number of sports and incidence rates have
not declined in recent times. Additionally, the high rate of recurrent injuries suggests that our …

Background Although performance of the Nordic hamstring exercise (NHE) has been shown
to elicit adaptations that may reduce hamstring strain injury (HSI) risk and occurrence …

Recent literature supports the importance of horizontal ground reaction force (GRF)
production for sprint acceleration performance. Modeling and clinical studies have shown …

Background: The incidence of acute hamstring injuries is high in several sports, including
