Identifying the time of occurrence of a hamstring strain injury during treadmill running: A case study

Misuse of “Power” and Other Mechanical Terms in Sport and Exercise Science Research

“…For example, large forces are required but if they are too large, injury to muscle or tendon and in extreme cases, bone, could occur (12). When optimising throwing technique to maximise distance thrown in events such as shot-put, discus and javelin, the duration of contact with the implement before its departure is an important measure.…”

“…Electromyography and biomechanical studies show that, during the running cycle the hamstring muscles are the most active muscle group in the swing phase (Mann & Sprague, 1980;Montgomery, Pink, & Perry, 1994). observed that hamstring injuries occurred at the end of this phase The hamstring muscles are in a 12% more stretched position during a 130 ms long period in this phase than during standing position (Heiderscheit et al, 2005). At the same time, the hamstrings performed eccentric work to decelerate the swing of the leg before ground contact and high peak loads occur on the structure.…”

Cause and Management of Hamstring Injuries in College Sprinters - A Qualitative Approach

“…In spite of unclear understanding between thigh and hamstring muscles especially flexion of knee and hip extension may cause to a small part or organ to hamstring incidence [4]. In the competitive sprinting the gait cycle during swing phase mostly occurred hamstring strain [5]. As preview to relate literature hamstring injuries are in same condition and that certain types of injuries need prolonged rehabilitation and return to play [6].…”
