Purpose: The optimal approach to hamstring training is heavily debated. Eccentric exercises
reduce injury risk; however, it is argued that these exercises transfer poorly to improved …

Background Primary motor cortex (M1) organization and quadriceps femoris excitability may
change after anterior cruciate ligament injury (ACLi) and anterior cruciate ligament …

Objective Comparison of knee flexor strength limb symmetry index (LSI) between the
NordBord-test and the Biodex-test, and to determine the relationship between knee flexor …

This study aimed to determine the test–retest reliability of a range of transcranial magnetic
stimulation (TMS) outcomes in the biceps femoris during isometric, eccentric and concentric …

This study aimed to investigate the hamstring onset time and recruitment level during
jumping tasks in athletes with chronic hamstring strain injuries. Thirteen hamstring injured …

Background Increasing evidence suggests that pain drives maladaptive corticomotor
changes that may increase susceptibility to injury and promote symptom recurrence …

Rehabilitative practice is often criticised for being non-individualised, monotonous and not
well aligned with foundational principles that drive continued physiological adaptation (s) …

Methods This cross-sectional study investigated muscle activation during the SLRCH in
individuals with prior hamstring injuries. Twelve recreationally active male soccer players …

Part one of this dissertation investigated muscle behavior, forces and activation during
exercise. Chapter 2 presented a systematic review on the reliability of fascicle length and …

Objectives: This study investigated the impact of hamstring strain injuries (HSI) and vision on
muscle recruitment and postural control in athletes with HSI. Methods: Fourteen athletes with …
