Effect of additional Nordic hamstring exercise or sprint training on the modifiable risk factors of hamstring strain injuries and performance

Abstract: The Nordic hamstring exercise (NHE) has commonly been investigated in isolation, however, within practice multiple modalities are commonly incorporated. However, the NHE has a low level of compliance within sport, with sprinting being potentially being preferred. The present study aimed to observe the effect of a lower-limb program with either additional NHE or sprinting on the modifiable risk factors hamstring strain injury (HSI) and athletic performance. 38 collegiate athletes were randomly assigned into thr… Show more

“…It has been proposed that weakness of the knee flexors is an important factor associated with the incidence of hamstring strain injuries (Opar et al, 2012;Timmins et al, 2016). In an attempt to mitigate the risk for injury, strength training has been used to increase knee flexor strength (Bourne et al, 2018;Ribeiro-Alvares et al, 2018;Ripley et al, 2023). Previous studies have examined characteristics of the knee flexor myoelectric (EMG) activity during various exercises to identify how hamstring activation patterns differ between hip and knee dominant movements (Bourne et al, 2017;Hegyi et al, 2019).…”
