Abstract Objectives Hamstring strain injuries (HSIs) commonly affect the proximal biceps
femoris long head (BFlh) musculotendinous junction. Biomechanical modeling suggests …

Biceps femoris long head (BF LH) aponeurosis size was compared between legs with and
without prior hamstring strain injury (HSI) using within-group (injured vs. uninjured legs of …

Introduction Hamstring strain injuries (HSI) and re-injuries are endemic in high-speed
running sports. The biceps femoris long head (BFlh) is the most frequently injured muscle …

Background A history of hamstring strain injury (HSI) has been indicated as a primary risk
factor for a future injury. It is unknown whether a prior strain influences the architectural …

Background Biceps femoris long head (BFlh) proximal aponeurosis (PA) size appears to be
highly variable between individuals (Handsfield et al., 2010) and may not be proportional to …

ABSTRACT EVANGELIDIS, PE, GJ MASSEY, MTG PAIN, and JP FOLLAND. Biceps Femoris
Aponeurosis Size: A Potential Risk Factor for Strain Injury? Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 47 …

Hamstring strains, particularly involving the long head of biceps femoris (BFlh) at the
proximal musculotendinous junction (MTJ), are commonly experienced by athletes. With the …

Background: Individuals with a unilateral hamstring strain injury (HSI) history possess
shorter biceps femoris long head (BFlh) fascicle lengths on their previously injured limb …

Purpose: To determine i) the reliability of two-dimensional ultrasonography for the
assessment of biceps femoris long head (BFlh) architectural characteristics; ii) if limbs with a …

This study examined whether professional footballers with previous biceps femoris long
head (BF LH) injury in the last 3-years present a smaller proximal aponeurosis (Apo-BF LH) …
