Practices and perceptions in hamstring training for injury risk mitigation: A survey-based mixed-methods analysis (2025)
Journal Article

In this study, the practices and perceptions of sport and exercise practitioners regarding hamstring training for injury risk mitigation were investigated. Hamstring strain injuries (HSIs) remain a prevalent issue across sports, despite extensive res...

Bicep femoris long head (BFLH) fascicle length (FL) is a modifiable risk factor of hamstring strain injury (HSI) and is extremely adaptable to imposed demands. The aim was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the effects of di...

The good morning is a barbell exercise that can be used to develop muscular strength and hypertrophy in the posterior chain (i.e., hamstring muscles, gluteal muscles, spinal erectors, calf complex). The exercise uses a hip hinge motion with the barbe... Read More about The Good Morning—Exercise Technique and Exercise Selection Principles.

The effect of exercise compliance on risk reduction for hamstring strain injury : a systematic review and meta-analyses (2021)
Journal Article

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 18(21), e11260. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph182111260

Eccentric strength training can reduce the risk of hamstring strain injury (HSI) occurrence; however, its implementation can be impacted by athlete compliance and prescription. The aim of this review was to investigate the effects of intervention com...
