Journal ArticleDOI
Short biceps femoris fascicles and eccentric knee flexor weakness increase the risk of hamstring injury in elite football (soccer): a prospective cohort study
Ryan G. Timmins,Matthew N. Bourne,Anthony J. Shield,Morgan D. Williams,Christian Lorenzen,David A. Opar +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of eccentric knee flexor strength, between-limb imbalance and biceps femoris long head (BFlh) fascicle length on the risk of a future hamstring strain injury (HSI) was investigated.
Short biceps femoris fascicles and eccentric knee flexor weakness increase the risk of hamstring injury in elite football (soccer): A prospective cohort study
Ryan G. Timmins,Matthew N. Bourne,Anthony J. Shield,Morgan D. Williams,Christian Lorenzen,David A. Opar +5 more
TL;DR: The greater risk of a future HSI in older players or those with a previous HSI is reduced when they have longer BFlh fascicles and high levels of eccentric strength.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of the Nordic hamstring and hip extension exercises on hamstring architecture and morphology: implications for injury prevention
Matthew N. Bourne,Matthew N. Bourne,Matthew N. Bourne,Steven Duhig,Ryan G. Timmins,Morgan D. Williams,David A. Opar,Aiman Al Najjar,Graham K. Kerr,Anthony J. Shield +9 more
TL;DR: NHE and HE training both stimulate significant increases in B FLH fascicle length; however, HE training may be more effective for promoting hypertrophy in the BFLH.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Evidence-Based Framework for Strengthening Exercises to Prevent Hamstring Injury
Matthew N. Bourne,Ryan G. Timmins,David A. Opar,Tania Pizzari,Joshua D Ruddy,Casey Sims,Morgan D. Williams,Anthony J. Shield +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, an evidence-based approach to strength training for the prevention of hamstring strain injury should consider the impact of exercise selection on muscle activation, and the effect of training interventions on hamstring muscle architecture, morphology and function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eccentric Knee Flexor Strength and Risk of Hamstring Injuries in Rugby Union: A Prospective Study
TL;DR: In this article, a prospective study was conducted over the 2014 Super Rugby and Queensland Rugby Union seasons to determine if lower levels of eccentric knee flexor strength or greater between-limb imbalance in this parameter during the Nordic hamstring exercise are risk factors for hamstring strain injuries in rugby union.
