Purpose Neuromuscular fatigue is considered to be important in the etiology of hamstring
strain injuries in football. Fatigue is assumed to lead to decreases in hamstring contractile …

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

Purpose: To examine the effect of body mass (BM) on eccentric knee-flexor strength using
the Nordbord and offer simple guidelines to control for the effect of BM on knee-flexor …

Football players experience increased risks of lower limb injuries, particularly hamstring
strains and knee ligament damage, often attributed to muscle imbalances. This study aimed …

Hamstring strain injuries (HSI) are the most common injury in male professional football and
are potentially a primary risk factor to re-injury. Although the isokinetic strength ratios have …

Hamstring strain injuries frequently occur during professional soccer practice. Low
hamstring strength represents an intrinsic modifiable risk factor but cutoffs of isokinetic knee …

Purpose: The aim of the study was to determine the differences between football players and
basketball players in the mean absolute values​​ of maximum torque flexors and …

The main purpose of the study was to analyse the relationship between the Nordic
hamstring (NH) and the gold standard isokinetic eccentric strength measurements at three …

Despite its widespread use in adults, the Nordic hamstring exercise remains underexplored
in athletic youth populations. Further, given the dynamic nature of growth and maturation …

Hamstrings injuries are common in track and field athletics and in other sports that involve
considerable kicking movements, such as rugby and soccer. This study investigated the …
