Background The time to return to sport from acute hamstring strain injuries is associated with
several functional and structural impairments. However, not all previous studies assessed …

Return to play (RTP) criteria after hamstring strain injuries (HSIs) help clinicians in deciding
whether an athlete is ready to safely resume previous sport activities. Today, functional and …

Purpose: Countermovement jump (CMJ) and maximum running speed over a distance of 20
m were evaluated for examination of the concurrent fatigue and post-activation potentiation …

Hamstring injuries are endemic, but influences of test-specific training and the application of
different test methods on decision making remain elusive. Sport-students were randomised …

Equivocal findings exist on isokinetic and Nordic hamstring exercise testing of eccentric
hamstring strength capacity. Here, we propose a critical comparison of the mechanical …

Running exercises are frequently related to muscular injuries, which may be a result of
muscular imbalance. The present study aimed to verify the effects of heavy-intensity …

Purpose: Although strength and sprint training are widely used methods in competitive
cycling, no previous studies have compared the acute responses and recovery rates …

Background and Purpose Hamstring strength testing is crucial in assessing this important
muscle group during rehabilitation and injury prevention. The purpose of this study was to …

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 …

Background Despite the implementation of specific exercises to reduce hamstrings strain
injuries (HSI) risk, the incidence has remained unchanged over the past 30 years. Therefore …
