Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a popular research tool in sport and rehabilitation
sciences. Common study designs include the comparison of sEMG amplitudes collected …

Strength training is a valuable component of hamstring strain injury prevention programmes;
however, in recent years a significant body of work has emerged to suggest that the acute …

Objective The primary aim was to compare time from acute hamstring strain injury (HSI) to
return-to-play (RTP) clearance following a standardized rehabilitation protocol performed …

To train hamstring muscle specifically to sprint, strengthening programs should target
exercises associated with horizontal force production and high levels of hamstring activity …

Abstract Madoni, SN, Costa, PB, Coburn, JW, and Galpin, AJ. Effects of foam rolling on

Background In the bilateral Nordic hamstring exercise (NHE), hamstrings operate at
relatively short lengths, which may limit the efficacy of the NHE in hamstring injury …

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

Background: The hamstring muscles play a critical role in the prevention of lower limb
injuries. However, it is still unclear which exercises are more effective in terms of muscle …

Hamstring strain injury (HSI) is one of the most commonly reported sports injuries. This has
led to a substantial amount of research aimed at identifying factors that increase the risk of …

Muscle strength imbalances and poor flexibility are frequently described as risk factors for
hamstring injury. Preventive strategies include eccentric exercises, but the influence of field …
