“…A concentric contraction occurs when the muscle contracts during shortening, while in an eccentric contraction the muscle lengthens when it is active. Eccentric contraction costs less energy and produces higher forces than concentric contraction [13].…”

“…Furthermore, fatigue and inadequate warm up [15], poor lumbar posture [16] and previous injury [17] have also been suggested as causes of hamstring strains. In addition, injuries influenced by lumbar spine and/or sacroiliac pathology-with or without tethering of the static neural tissue [13] have been previously postulated as causes of hamstring strains. Lastly, other factors including neural tension [18] and strength imbalance between quadriceps and hamstring muscles [9] have all been suggested as possible predisposing factors.…”

“…Another important factor for hamstring strains in soccer players as well as in sprinters is tight hamstring muscles [11,12]. Moreover, poor eccentric strength of the hamstring muscles might cause hamstring strains [13]. One more cause could be that the athlete returns to sport before he is fully rehabilitated [14].…”

The aim of this study was to determine whether there are any differences in hamstring strength indices of isokinetic concentric and eccentric peak torques at 60 deg/sec and 180 deg/sec between hamstring injured (left / non dominant) and non-injured (right / dominant) leg in a hamstring-injured athlete. A 25-year-old male recreational athlete who had hamstring injury, grade 2, twice in the past took part in the present case study. Hamstring concentric and eccentric peak torques were tested at two velocities: 60 and 180 deg/sec. The only difference was found in concentric peak torque at 60 deg/sec. Future well -designed studies are needed to find out whether there is a relationship between strength testing and hamstring muscle injury.

This study aimed to assess the effects of progressive lumbar stability exercises and lumbar stability exercises on changes in the transversus abdominis muscle thickness and lower extremity muscle fatigue index in soccer players. Ten subjects were assigned to undergo training in each of the 2 groups, namely, the progressive lumbar stability exercise group and lumbar stability exercise group. Each intervention session lasted for 30 min, and 4 sessions were conducted in a week for 6 weeks for soccer players of S. University in Jeonnam, Korea. Changes in the transversus abdominis muscle thickness and lower extremity muscle fatigue index were measured using ultrasound and surface electromyogram. The results of the ultrasound measurement for the transversus abdominis muscle thickness indicated that progressive lumbar stability exercises were more effective than lumbar stability exercises. The results of the lower extremity muscle fatigue index measurements using surface electromyogram indicated that the fatigue index decreased in the progressive lumbar stability exercise group. Progressive lumbar stability exercise is believed to have put more workload during the shaking of the limbs, leading to increased stability and increased efficiency of the lower extremity muscle, thereby decreasing the fatigue index. Therefore, progressive lumbar stability exercises can be an effective measure for preventing injuries and improving the game performance of sports players by increasing the transversus abdominis muscle thickness and decreasing the lower extremity muscle fatigue index.

“…During this phase the hamstring muscles are stretched while facing eccentric contraction load [23] and perform the greatest amount of negative work during this time [24] . During these running cycle phases the hamstrings are under the greatest pressure and injury is likely to occur [19,25] . Heiderscheit et al [26] research shows the exact moment of a hamstring injury while running on a treadmill.…”

Purpose: Hamstring injuries are common among football players. There is still disagreement regarding prevention. The aim of this review is to determine whether static stretching reduces hamstring injuries in football codes.Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted on the online databases PubMed, PEDro, Cochrane, Web of Science, Bisp and Clinical Trial register. Study results were presented descriptively and the quality of the studies assessed were based on Cochrane's 'risk of bias' tool. Results:The review identified 35 studies, including four analysis studies. These studies show deficiencies in the quality of study designs. Conclusion:The study protocols are varied in terms of the length of intervention and follow-up. No RCT studies are available, however, RCT studies should be conducted in the near future.
