An assessment of isometric muscle strength and the hamstring: Quadriceps ratio among males trained with free weights vs. machines

Baltic Journal of Health and Physical Activity, 2022
Introduction. The purpose of this study was to assess the isometric muscle strength (IMS) of the knee extensors and flexors, bilateral asymmetry (BA) and the hamstring: quadriceps ratio (H:Q ratio) between the dominant leg (DL) vs. the non-dominant leg (

Hamstring muscle injury in the athlete: state of the art [PDF]

Journal of ISAKOS, 2021
Hamstring injuries (HSI) are the source of significant impairment and disability for both professional and recreational athletes. The incidence and prevalence of HSIs has been well documented in the literature, as they are among the most common soft tissue injuries reported. The significant time loss due to injury and the inherent risk of reinjury pose

The Influence of Hamstring Length on the Flexion-relaxation Phenomenon in Relation to the Erector Spinae Muscle During Trunk Flexion

Physical Therapy Korea, 2020
Background: The flexion-relaxation phenomenon (FRP) refers to a sudden onset of activity in the erector spinae muscles that recedes or fades during full forward flexion of the trunk.

Comparison of Knee Muscle Strength and Ankle Dorsiflexion Range of Motion Between Standing Workers With and Without Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

Physical Therapy Korea, 2020
Background: Prolonged standing during work causes a lower extremity pain and disorders. Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is one of the common diagnoses of the knee pain. Although the etiology of PFPS is not completely understood, it is considered to

Stress between the hamstring muscles

, 2020
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 force. In this paper we show that force is the principal cause of muscle damage whereas strain is a means of increasing force.
