Hamstring muscle architecture and microstructure changes following Nordic hamstring exercise training and detraining [PDF]

Journal of Sport and Health Science
Background: While Nordic hamstring exercise (NHE) training has been shown to reduce hamstring strains, the muscle-specific adaptations to NHE across the 4 hamstrings remain unclear. This study investigates architectural and microstructural adaptations of

Acute effects of Nordic hamstring exercise on ultrasound shear wave elastography [PDF]

Journal of Ultrasonography
The Nordic hamstring curl appears effective in reducing the incidence of injury in physically active young adults, likely through its capacity as an eccentric exercise to increase muscle stiffness. Although eccentric exercises have been shown to increase

Kinematic, Neuromuscular and Bicep Femoris In Vivo Mechanics during the Nordic Hamstring Exercise and Variations of the Nordic Hamstring Exercise [PDF]

Muscles
The Nordic hamstring exercise (NHE) is effective at decreasing hamstring strain injury risk. Limited information is available on the in vivo mechanics of the bicep femoris long head (BFLH) during the NHE.

The Effects of the Leg Position on the Nordic Hamstring Exercise Eccentric Force: A Randomized Cross-Over Study [PDF]

Muscles
Given the posterior chain configuration, it is anticipated that tibial positioning influences hamstring recruitment; medial hamstrings should be more activated during medial rotation, while lateral hamstrings should be more activated during lateral ...

Development of a Novel Nordic Hamstring Exercise Device to Measure and Modify the Knee Flexors' Torque-Length Relationship [PDF]

Frontiers in Sports and Active Living, 2021
The Nordic hamstring exercise (NHE) has been shown to reduce hamstring injury risk when employed in training programs. This study investigates a novel device to modify the NHE torque-length relationship of the knee flexors, as targeting the hamstrings at
