Stress between the hamstring muscles

open access: yes, 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.
