Quasi-experimental research investigates home-based eccentric exercise impact on sprinters' speed and power, suggesting potential for injury prevention.
Purpose: Hamstring strain is the most common injury in sprinters, and eccentric exercise is one of the most effective interventions.Despite numerous studies in this field, the effect of homebased eccentric exercise (HBEE) on the sports performance of sprinters prone to hamstringstiffness-related injuries has not been examined.Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of four weeks of HBEE on the stiffness, speed, and power of sprinters. Methods:The current quasi-experimental research was conducted on 32 sprinters (control group:16 athletes, age: 21.50±1.63years; height: 176.81±5.54cm; weight: 70.44±7.54kg; sprinting background: 6.56±1.51years, and body mass index (BMI): 22
