Title | Hamstring strain injuries: incidence, mechanisms, risk factors and training recommendations |
Authors | Wing, C. and Bishop, C. |
Abstract | Hamstring strain injury (HSI) is one of the most commonly reported sports injuries. This has led to a substantial amount of research aimed at identifying factors that increase the risk of an athlete suffering a HSI. The identification of risk factors allows practitioners to plan intervention programmes with the aim of reducing the rate and severity of HSI. As a multitude of factors contribute to the risk of HSI, interventions should be multifaceted in nature. This review outlines the incidence, mechanisms and risk factors for HSI and provides evidence-based training recommendations to reduce the rate and severity of HSI. |
