Background:Hamstring injury is one of the most common injuries in sports involving sprinting.Hamstring flexibility and strength are often considered to be modifiable risk factors in hamstring injury.Understanding the ...
Purpose To establish the load-velocity relationships during backward sled pulling and compare this to forward sled pulling and determine the reliability of running speeds and associated load-velocity regression slopes...
Purpose:The study aimed to compare the effects of a long general warm-up,a long specific warm-up,and a short specific warm-up upon sprint ability in soccer players.Methods:Twelve male soccer players(age:18.3±0.8 year...
The debate about the mechanisms of hamstring injuries in sprinting in the Journal of Sport and Health Science reminded me of the discussion of the force enhancement mechanisms in stretch-shortening cycles(SSCs)20 year...
Background:Injuries to the hamstring are relatively common in professional cricketers(as they are in many team sports) and have increased in incidence in the "T20 era"(introduction of 20-over matches) of cricket since...

Background:The effect of hamstring flexibility on the peak hamstring muscle strains in sprinting,until now,remained unknown,which limited our understanding of risk factors of hamstring muscle strain injury(hamstring i...
Hamstring muscle strain injury is one of the most common injuries in sports involving sprinting and kicking.Hamstring muscle strain injuries occur at a high rate and have a high re-injury rate,which results in loss of...

Hamstring strain injury is one of most prevalent noncontact injuries in sports that involve high-speed running,such as sprinting,soccer,and rugby.~1In order to optimize prevention strategies and injury rehabilitation,...
We have carefully read the description of the proposed mechanisms of hamstring muscle strain injury by Liu et al.1and noticed that they suggest that hamstring strain injuries may be associated with extensive muscle fo...
