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 …

Purpose To define based on expert opinion and practical experience using a systematic and
scientific approach,(1) the perceived most effective exercise-based strategies to prevent …

Aims The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of hamstring eccentric (NHE)
strength training versus sprint training programmed as complements to regular soccer …

The aim of this study was to determine the time course of architectural adaptations in the
biceps femoris long head (BFLH) following high or low volume eccentric training. Twenty …

PURPOSE To compare biceps femoris long-head (BFlh) fascicle lengths (Lfs) obtained with
different ultrasound-based approaches: 1) single ultrasound images and linear Lf …

Background: Hamstring injuries are common among athletes. Considering the potentially
prolonged recovery and high rate of recurrence, effective methods of prevention and risk …

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 …

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 …

Objective To determine the effects of an eccentric hamstrings strength-training program,
performed for at least 4 weeks by healthy adults, on muscle architecture and eccentric …
