Integration of a Knee Flexor Bias or Hip Hinge Bias Resistance Training Program With Combined High-Speed Running in Academy Soccer Players (2025)
Journal Article

Strength training has been shown to mitigate risk of hamstring strain injury and enhance athletic performance. However, most training studies are focused on single exercise interventions and, therefore, lacking in ecological validity. In this study,...

A mixed methods approach to training for the mitigation of modifiable risk factors for hamstring strain injury and the development of athletic performance. (2025)
Thesis

Hamstring strain injuries (HSIs) are the most common non-contact injuries in various sports, including soccer, American football, rugby union, Australian rules football, cricket, and sprinting. Epidemiological studies have highlighted the significant...

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...

The Effect of Training Modalities on Bicep Femoris Fascicle Length Adaptations: A Systematic Review and Meta-analyses (2024)
Journal Article

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.

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...
