Prospective cohort study shows that running load and muscle architecture are linked to hamstring strain injuries, highlighting the injury risk in elite male athletes.
Combining measures of running load exposure with hamstring strength and architecture, increases the variance explained by multivariate models for determining HSI risk. Despite this, there was still approximately 80% of unexplained variance in sustaining a HSI in this study.
