The purpose of this narrative review is to discuss the role of eccentric resistance training in
youth and how this training modality can be utilized within long-term physical development …

Both injury history and eccentric knee flexor strength have been associated with risk of
football players sustaining hamstring strain injury (HSI). However, it remains unclear …

Managing injury risk requires an understanding of how and when athletes sustain certain
injuries. Such information guides organisations in establishing evidence-based priorities …

Objectives The primary aim of this study was to describe eccentric hamstring strength
magnitude and asymmetry at the time of return-to-sport (RTS) after an index hamstring strain …

Objectives Hamstring strain injuries are common in sprint-based activities and multifactorial.
One of the main risk factors is the deficit of hamstring eccentric strength, which is not easily …

Hamstring strains are the most common time‐loss injury in elite Gaelic football affecting over
20% of players per season. Thus, there is a need to identify factors contributing to the onset …

Purpose: To determine if eccentric hamstring strength was prospectively associated with HSI
among collegiate athletes, while controlling for sex, age, and prior HSI. We hypothesized …

Purpose: Increasing age, high quadriceps strength, and low hamstring muscle strength are
associated with hamstring strain injury in soccer. The authors investigated the age-related …

Non‐contact lower limb injuries are common in academy football. Yet, the impact these
injuries have on strength development in academy footballers remains unclear. This study …

Aim. Hamstring injury is a major, unresolved, health issue in sports (1), with two main injury
mechanisms: sprint-related and overstretching-related strains (2-4). This raises the question …
