Temporal biomechanical and physiological responses to physical activity vary between
individual hamstrings components as well as between exercises, suggesting that hamstring …

Shear-wave elastography is a method that is increasingly used to assess muscle stiffness in
clinical practice and human health research. Recently, shear-wave elastography has been …

Knee extension and hip flexion range of motion (ROM) and functional performance of the
hamstrings are of great importance in many sports. The aim of this study was to investigate if …

Developing methods for the non-invasive characterization of the mechanics of
musculoskeletal tissues is an ongoing research focus in biomechanics. Often, these …

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of passive and active knee flexion efforts
on the stiffness of the thoracolumbar (TLF), semitendinosus (STF), and semimembranosus …

Previous studies on knee biomechanics have mainly focused on the joint structure itself,
largely neglecting the material properties of the muscles and connective tissues around the …

BACKGROUND: The effect of percussion massage on hamstring flexibility is unknown. This
study aimed to investigate the acute effects of percussion massage on hamstring flexibility …

Abstract Buxton, JD, Prins, PJ, Miller, MG, Moreno, A, Welton, GL, Atwell, AD, Talampas, TR,
and Elsey, GE. The effects of a novel quadrupedal movement training program on functional …

Background. The relationship between hamstring flexibility and the risk of OSD continues to
be a debate, and whether hamstring stretching exercises should be considered as one of …

We investigated the shear modulus–passive force relationship in the hip adductor longus
(AL) muscles of human cadavers and explored the effect of muscle architecture on the …
