Predicting hamstring strain injury in elite athletes

Article Abstract:

The prediction that optimum lengths of previously injured hamstrings in athletes are shorter and therefore more prone to eccentric damage than uninjured muscles is tested, using isokinetic dynamometry and angle torque curves of athletes with a history of hamstring injury in only one leg. The results show a strong correlation between optimum angle for peak active torque and previous history of injury, consistent with the view that such muscles were at risk of reinjury.

Human hamstring muscles adapt to eccentric exercise by changing optimum length

Article Abstract:

This article examines the effects of eccentric exercise on the mechanical properties of hamstring muscles in healthy adults. Findings indicate that sessions of isokinetic exercise result in a significant change in the optimum torque-angle curve in hamstrings due to exercise-related adaptations.

Acute adaptation to low volume eccentric exercise

Article Abstract:

This article examines the adaptive effects of low-volume eccentric exercise on the symptoms of exercise-induced muscle damage. Findings indicate that one session of low-volume eccentric exercise facilitates recovery from a previous eccentric exercise session that resulted in muscle damage.
