The effect of training on hamstring flexibility has been widely assessed through the
measurement of the maximal range of motion or passive torque. However, these global …

Limited information is available on whether stiffness is different within and between the
constituents of the hamstring, that is, the biceps femoris long head (BFlh), semitendinosus …

The aim of our study was to assess eccentric-exercise-induced changes in passive knee
joint torque, passive knee joint stiffness and shear modulus at of the hamstring muscles. We …

Introduction The mechanical properties of hamstring muscles are usually inferred from
global passive torque/angle relationships, in combination with adjoining tissues crossing the …

The main aim was to examine the load bearing of individual hamstring muscles in different
contraction types and intensities, through local stiffness measurement by shear wave …

This study investigated the effects of hamstring training methods on the passive viscoelastic
properties of hamstring and quadriceps muscles and the relationship of these properties to …

Objective The purpose of this study was to characterize lower extremity passive muscle
stiffness in a young, healthy, athletic population. It was hypothesized that males would …

Purpose To assess the stiffness of hamstring muscles during isometric contractions in
healthy individuals, using ultrasound-based shear wave elastography to (1) determine the …

The purpose of this study was to examine whether athletes with highly flexible hamstring
muscle‐tendon units display different passive and contractile mechanical properties …

Purpose Hamstring strain injuries may occur due to differential fatigue and compromised
mechanical properties among the hamstring muscles. We examined (1) the effect of fatigue …
