The effect of pre-exercise Nordic hamstring exercise on hamstring neuromuscular response during soccer-specific activity [PDF]
Background: The Nordic hamstring exercise (NHE) has emerged as a popular intervention for improving eccentric hamstring strength, however recent literature suggests there is a potential for an increase in injury risk during subsequent exercise.Methods: To quantify the influence of pre-exercise NHE on the electromyographical response of the hamstrings ...

The Effect of the Nordic Hamstring Exercise on Muscle Activity: A Multichannel Electromyography Randomized Controlled Trial [PDF]
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a Nordic hamstring exercise intervention on biceps femoris long head, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus muscle’s activity and relative contributions through multichannel electromyography. Twenty-four injury-free male basketball players (mean age 20 [3] y) were randomly assigned to a 12-week ...

Hamstring Muscle‐Tendon Geometric Adaptations to Resistance Training Using the Hip Extension and Nordic Hamstring Exercises [PDF]
ABSTRACTTargeted resistance training stimulates hamstring muscle hypertrophy, but its effect on tendon‐aponeurosis geometry is unknown. This study examined changes in hamstring muscle, free tendon, and aponeurosis geometry following a 10 week Nordic or hip extension exercise intervention.

Loaded Single-Leg Roman Chair Hold Preferentially Increases Biceps Femoris Activation, Whereas the Nordic Hamstring Exercise Emphasises Semitendinosus Activation in Professional Athletes [PDF]
Background and Objectives: Hamstring strain injuries (HSIs) are frequent and recurrent in athletes who perform high-speed running. The long head of the biceps femoris (BFlh) is often affected by HSIs. While the Nordic hamstring exercise (NHE) is used for

Four-week Nordic hamstring exercise intervention for individuals with ACL reconstruction via hamstrings tendon autograft: feasibility of a pilot randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Background The Nordic hamstring exercise (NHE) has been widely used among uninjured, athletic populations to mitigate the risk of hamstring injury, yet little is known about its utility as an intervention for individuals who undergo ACL reconstruction ...

IMPACT OF THE NORDIC HAMSTRING AND HIP EXTENSION EXERCISES ON HAMSTRING ARCHITECTURE AND MORPHOLOGY: IMPLICATIONS FOR INJURY PREVENTION [PDF]
BackgroundThere has been significant interest in exploring the patterns of muscle activity in hamstring exercises, however, there is no research examining the architectural and morphological adaptations of these muscles to different exercise interventions.ObjectiveTo evaluate changes in biceps femoris long head (BFLH) fascicle length and hamstring ...
