Background. The cause of muscle damage and injury is often attributed to large strains.
Studies have suggested that strain is the principal cause of muscle damage rather than …

The passive mechanical properties of whole human muscles have rarely been measured
and elucidated. This study aimed to clarify the stress–strain relationship of the hamstring …

Injury in Elite Athletes. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 36, No. 3, pp. 379–387, 2004 …

Hamstring muscle strain injury is the most common and prevalent injury in sports involving
high-speed running, such as American football, Australian football, English rugby, soccer …

Physiotherapists concerned with the treatment of hamstring strains require an understanding
of the location of injury. Similarly knowledge of the anatomy of the injury site is necessary for …

Muscle strain is common in many sports and occurs most often in the hamstring muscle.
Because hamstring strain occurrence and recurrence rates are high, many studies of risk …

Hamstring strains are one of most common sports injuries. The purpose of this literature
review is to summarize studies on hamstring strain injury rate, mechanism, and risk factors in …

Prolonged mechanical loading of soft tissues adjacent to bony prominences can lead to
degeneration of muscle tissue, resulting in a condition termed pressure-related deep tissue …

The incidence of hamstring muscle strain varies among muscles, suggesting that the
mechanical stresses associated with elongation may differ among muscles. However, the …

Background: Acute hamstring strains are common injuries in different sports. They are often
serious, causing long rehabilitation times and a proneness for re-injury. Preliminary …
