Relationships between Hamstrings-to-Quadriceps Ratio and Variables Describing Countermovement and Drop Jumps

Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2019
The impact of the hamstrings-to-quadriceps ratio on sport movement performance has not been sufficiently described. However, it seems that in movements involving eccentric-concentric muscular contractions, a higher hamstrings-to-quadriceps ratio should ...

Is hamstrings-to-quadriceps torque ratio useful for predicting anterior cruciate ligament and hamstring injuries? A systematic and critical review

Journal of Sport and Health Science, 2022
Highlights • The hamstrings-to-quadriceps (H:Q) strength ratio is not an independent risk factor for either hamstrings or anterior cruciate ligament injury.• The association of H:Q ratio with injury does not differ between conventional and functional ...
