Background: A hamstring strain injury (HSI) has become the most common noncontact injury
in soccer. Isokinetic muscle strength deficits are considered a risk factor for HSIs. However …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate whether preseason isokinetic
strength measures were predictive of future HSI among professional football players. Design …

Background: Hamstring injuries remain a significant injury burden in sports such as soccer
that involve high-speed running. It has repeatedly been identified as the most common …

Background Hamstring injuries remain prevalent across a number of professional sports. In
football, the incidence has even increased by 4% per year at the Champions League level …

Background: There are conflicting reports regarding the association between isokinetic
concentric quadriceps and hamstring strength deficits and ratios and risk for hamstring …

OBJECTIVE: To determine the relation of hamstring and quadriceps muscle strength and
imbalance to hamstring injury using a prospective observational cohort study METHOD: A …

Background The relationship between muscle injury and strength disorders remains a
matter of controversy. Purpose Professional soccer players performed a preseason …

Objective To examine the value of isokinetic strength assessment for predicting risk of
hamstring strain injury, and to direct future research into hamstring strain injuries. Design …

Background: Hamstring injuries are common in sprinters. Identifying preseason risk factors
is essential to target injury-prone athletes and develop injury preventive measures …

Purpose: Are eccentric hamstring strength and between-limb imbalance in eccentric
strength, measured during the Nordic hamstring exercise, risk factors for hamstring strain …
