[Purpose] We aimed to investigate the change rate in the cross-sectional area of each
hamstring component to evaluate muscle extensibility and to contribute to the studies on …

Foreshortened hamstring muscles have been associated with various clinical disorders. This
study examined the effects of three weeks of daily static stretching of short hamstrings on …

Objectives To evaluate the effect of a Nordic hamstring exercise or Diver hamstring exercise
intervention on biceps femoris long head, semitendinosus and semimembranosus muscle's …

The present study measured passive resistance to stretch in the hamstring muscles during a
standardized stretch maneuver to estimate tensile forces and energy of the individual …

Most parameters regarding hamstring flexibility training programs have been investigated;
however, the joint (ie hip or knee) on which the stretching should preferentially be focused …

The purpose of this study was to measure the change in hamstring muscle thickness
between contracting and relaxing conditions following a return to sports after a hamstring …

One of the biggest causes of movement dysfunction is the lack of muscle flexibility, what can
interfere in the individual's functionality. Flexibility can be altered through stretching but the …

Muscle morphology is an important contributor to hamstring muscle injury and malfunction.
The aim of this study was to examine if hamstring muscle-tendon lengths differ between …
