Background Hamstring strain injury (HSI) burdens athletes due to high occurrence and recurrence rates. Previous surface EMG evidence suggests reduced voluntary activation (VA) may contribute to high ...

Return-to-sport testing after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is heavily strength-based. If quadriceps and hamstrings torque normalize and limb asymmetry falls below accepted ...

Background: Many injury prevention and rehabilitation programs aim to train hamstring and quadriceps co-activation to constrain excessive anterior tibial translation and protect the anterior cruciate ...

Muscle fatigue and lateral deficit are associated with the risk of hamstring injuries (HSIs) (McCall et al. 2014). Frequent testing of hamstring strength (HSS) can help prevent HSIs. Pilot testing ...

The hamstring muscles are responsible for your hip and knee movements in walking, squatting, bending your knees, and tilting your pelvis. Hamstring muscle injuries are the most common sports injury.

After poring over decades of research, a team of scientists in Australia believes it has pinpointed the missing link in hamstring injury rehabilitation: neuromuscular training. Neuromuscular training ...

Various exercises may reduce tight hamstrings and lower the risk of injury. People can do hamstring stretches sitting on a chair, lying down, against a wall, and more. People who participate in sports ...

The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate whether hamstring-quadriceps co-activation altered knee joint motion and limited ACL elongation during a step-up task. Although preliminary, the ...
