Exploring the Role of Sprint Biomechanics in Hamstring Strain Injuries: A Current Opinion on Existing Concepts and Evidence. (2023)
Journal Article
Bramah, C., Mendiguchia, J., Dos’Santos, T., & Morin, J. (2023). Exploring the Role of Sprint Biomechanics in Hamstring Strain Injuries: A Current Opinion on Existing Concepts and Evidence. Sports Medicine, 10.1007/s40279-023-01925-x. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40279-023-01925-x

Hamstring strain injuries are one of the most common injuries in sprint-based sports with the mechanism of injury considered the result of an interaction between applied mechanical strain and the capacity of the muscle to tolerate strain. To date, in... Read More about Exploring the Role of Sprint Biomechanics in Hamstring Strain Injuries: A Current Opinion on Existing Concepts and Evidence..

The effect of speed on Achilles tendon forces and patellofemoral joint stresses in high performing endurance runners (2021)
Journal Article

Achilles tendinopathy and patellofemoral pain are common running injuries associated with increased Achilles tendon (AT) forces and patellofemoral joint (PFJ) stresses. This study examined AT forces and PFJ stresses at different running speeds in hig...

The between-day repeatability, standard error of measurement and minimal detectable change for discrete kinematic parameters during treadmill running (2021)
Journal Article

Background: Kinematic parameters of the trunk, pelvis and lower limbs are frequently associated with both running injuries and performance, and the target of clinical interventions. Currently there is limited evidence reporting the between-day repeat...
