Purpose Hamstring muscle strain injury is very common in sports involving high‐speed
running. Hamstring muscles originate from the ischial tuberosity and thus pelvic position …

The aim of this study was to compare the distribution of activation among the three heads of
the hamstring between a knee flexion-oriented exercise (Nordic hamstring) and a hip …

Large inter‐individual variability of activation strategies is observed during hamstring
strengthening exercises but their consequences remain unexplored. The objective of this …

Background: Chronic incomplete proximal hamstring avulsion injuries are debilitating
injuries associated with prolonged periods of convalescence and poor return to preinjury …

This chapter will provide the anatomical foundation for the content to come in later portions
of this book. It will begin with an overview of the proximal insertion sites of the muscles that …

Background: Injuries to the hamstring complex most commonly involve the proximal
musculotendinous junction of the long head of the biceps femoris (MTJ-BFlh). Nonoperative …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a Nordic hamstring exercise intervention
on biceps femoris long head, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus muscle's activity and …

Purpose Assessing muscle flexibility and architecture is important for hamstring strain injury
(HSI) prevention. We investigated the relationship between shear modulus and passive …

Exercise responses and injury rates differ between individual hamstrings and this may be
linked with their morphology. The aim of this study was to compare muscle length and …

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