Hamstring injuries [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Hip Preservation Surgery, 2015
There is a continuum of hamstring injuries that can range from musculotendinous strains to avulsion injuries. Although the proximal hamstring complex has a strong bony attachment on the ischial tuberosity, hamstring injuries are common in athletic population and can affect all levels of athletes.

Hamstrings on Morphological Structure Characteristics, Stress Features, and Risk of Injuries: A Narrative Review

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Hamstring injury has been considered one of the most common exercise-induced injuries in sports. Hamstring injuries mostly occur proximal to the biceps femoris. However, the reasons and mechanisms remain unclear.

Biceps femoris long head morphology in youth competitive alpine skiers is associated with age, biological maturation and traumatic lower extremity injuries

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Lower extremity injuries are common in competitive alpine skiers, and the knee and lower leg are often affected. The hamstring muscles, especially the biceps femoris long head (BFlh), can stabilize the knee and the hip and may counteract various adverse ...

Association between static stretching load and changes in the flexibility of the hamstrings

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The purpose of the present study was to examine the association between static stretching load and changes in the flexibility of the hamstrings. Twelve healthy men received static stretching for 60 s at two different intensities based on the point of ...

Regional Differences in Muscle Activation During Hamstrings Exercise

open access: yesJournal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2015
It is believed that regional activation within a muscle may lead to greater site-specific muscular adaptations in the activated portion of the muscle. Because the hamstrings are a biarticular muscle, it can be theorized that single-joint exercises where ...
