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...

Effects of variations in resistance training frequency on strength development in well-trained populations and implications for in-season athlete training : a systematic review and meta-analysis (2021)
Journal Article
Cuthbert, M., Haff, G., Arent, S., Ripley, N., McMahon, J., Evans, M., & Comfort, P. (2021). Effects of variations in resistance training frequency on strength development in well-trained populations and implications for in-season athlete training : a systematic review and meta-analysis. Sports Medicine, 51(9), 1967-1982. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40279-021-01460-7

In-season competition and tournaments for team sports can be both long and congested, with some sports competing up to three times per week. During these periods of time, athletes need to prepare technically, tactically and physically for the next fi...

Electromyographical Differences Between the Hyperextension and Reverse-Hyperextension (2021)
Journal Article
Cuthbert, M., Ripley, N. J., Suchomel, T. J., Alejo, R., McMahon, J. J., & Comfort, P. (2021). Electromyographical Differences Between the Hyperextension and Reverse-Hyperextension. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 35(6), 1477-1483. https://doi.org/10.1519/jsc.0000000000004049

The aims of this study were to compare muscle activation of the erector spinae (ES), gluteus maximus (GMax), and biceps femoris (BF) during the hyperextension (HE) and reverse-HE (RHE) exercises. Ten subjects (age, 23 ± 4 years; height, 175.9 ± 6.9 c... Read More about Electromyographical Differences Between the Hyperextension and Reverse-Hyperextension.

Unilateral vs. bilateral hamstring strength assessments : comparing reliability and inter-limb asymmetries in female soccer players (2021)
Journal Article
Cuthbert, M., Comfort, P., Ripley, N., McMahon, J., Evans, M., & Bishop, C. (2021). Unilateral vs. bilateral hamstring strength assessments : comparing reliability and inter-limb asymmetries in female soccer players. Journal of Sports Sciences, 39(13), 1481-1488. https://doi.org/10.1080/02640414.2021.1880180

The aims in the present study were to assess reliability for two unilateral and two bilateral field-based hamstring assessments and compare magnitude, direction and agreement of inter-limb asymmetry between tests and sessions. Twenty-nine female socc... Read More about Unilateral vs. bilateral hamstring strength assessments : comparing reliability and inter-limb asymmetries in female soccer players.
