Comparison of muscle activation during functional exercises based on hamstring flexibility, revealing significant differences.

Hamstring tightness leads to reduced activation of semitendinosus during critical exercises, impacting performance.
Participants with tight hamstrings showed 30% lower muscle activation in specific functional tasks compared to those with normal flexibility.
Surface electromyography was employed to measure muscle activation, highlighting key differences during physical activities.
Addressing hamstring flexibility may improve muscle recruitment and reduce injury risk among physically active individuals.

Guzmán-Muñoz et al. (2025) studied this question.
