Strength training is a valuable component of hamstring strain injury prevention programmes;
however, in recent years a significant body of work has emerged to suggest that the acute …

Rationale Hamstring injuries are common in elite sports. Muscle injury classification systems
aim to provide a framework for diagnosis. The British Athletics Muscle Injury Classification …

Background The architectural and morphological adaptations of the hamstrings in response
to training with different exercises have not been explored. Purpose To evaluate changes in …

Objective To determine which strength training exercises selectively activate the biceps
femoris long head (BFLongHead) muscle. Methods We recruited 24 recreationally active …

Muscle injuries are among the most common injuries in sport and continue to be a major
concern because of training and competition time loss, challenging decision making …

The biarticular hamstrings are lengthened more in a seated (hip-flexed) than prone (hip-
extended) position. Purpose We investigated the effects of seated versus prone leg curl …

Background The hamstring injury mechanism was assessed by investigating the exercise-
related metabolic activity characteristics of the hamstring muscles using a muscle functional …

Background Eccentric exercise increases muscle fascicle lengths; however, the
mechanisms behind this adaptation are still unknown. This study aimed to determine …

Background: Running-related hamstring strain injuries remain a delicate issue in several
sports such as soccer. Their unremittingly high incidence and recurrence rates indicate that …

It is important to optimise the functional recovery process to enhance patient outcomes after
major injury such as anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). This requires in part …
