In addition, each muscle's function is affected by the angle of the hip and/or knee joints. The morphology and function of one hamstring muscle cannot be considered representative of the whole muscle group and vice versa. Thus, treating the hamstrings as a single muscle unit by assuming a ...
After the 12 sprints, there was a significant decrease (p<0.05) in sprint performance (6.6%), horizontal force (8.6%), isokinetic strength (5.8 to -11.9%) and muscle activity (5.0 to 38.9%), and there was a significant correlation between the horizontal force and eccentric strength of ...
The purposes of this paper are: 1) to review briefly hamstring muscle group anatomy and function, 2) to review the clinical and animal research literature concerning the role of strength, flexibility, warm-up, and fatigue in hamstring muscle injury, 3) to present an evaluation and ...
Background Complete proximal avulsions of the hamstring muscle group may cause significant morbidity and loss of function. These pelvis-near musculoskeletal injuries are mostly acquired during sports activities in a hip flexion and knee extension. Here we present a study group of 6 middle-aged to ...
but a TRX curl engages the entire muscle group and activates the whole posterior chain,trainingyour muscles to work in concert and preventing injury. A study published in theJournal of Strength and Conditioning Researchfound that ahome workoutcomposed of single-legged eccentric-focused exercises such...
Why It’s Helpful for Runners:Stretching this muscle group while reclined enables you to take any balancing or strengthening out of the equation and simply focus on stretching. How to:Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet on the mat. Loop the strap around the ball of your...
A Patient's Guide to Hamstring Injuries Introduction The big group of muscles and tendons in the back of the thigh are commonly called the hamstrings. Injuries in this powerful muscle group are common, especially in athletes. Hamstring injuries happen to
Objective: We aimed to describe hamstring muscle injury (HMI) history and hamstring specific training (HST) in elite athletes. A secondary aim was to analyse the potential factors associated with in-championships HMI. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study to collect data before and durin...
SEM muscle: For the SEM muscle, MDF was also higher in both limbs of the uninjured football players compared to those post ACL reconstruction. With regard to the non-operated limb, the MDF value in SEM for the ACL group was significantly lower than the control. In the operated limb, the...
Although the tendons are sometimes involved in injuries, this article will refer to the "hamstrings" as the large muscle group at the back of the thigh because the most frequent problems involve this muscle group. What is the function of the hamstrings? The hamstring muscles actively bend (...
