Article Synopsis
- Hamstring injuries are common in running sports, mainly affecting the long head of biceps femoris, and result in significant time away from competition due to high re-injury rates.
- The exact mechanisms behind these injuries during high-speed running are still unclear, but they are thought to happen primarily during the late swing phase due to excessive eccentric muscle contractions.
- Future studies are needed to better understand the connection between hamstring muscle dynamics and the risk of injury.
