Why the study?
Eccentric training prevents hamstring injury, but little is known about the effects of eccentric hamstring training at long muscle length on hamstring flexibility.
Does 6 weeks of eccentric hamstring training at long muscle length improve hip flexion flexibility and hamstring passive stiffness in physically active young adults?
Does 6 weeks of eccentric hamstring training at long muscle length improve hip flexion flexibility and hamstring passive stiffness in physically active young adults?
Eccentric hamstring training at long muscle length significantly improves hamstring flexibility without altering passive hamstring stiffness.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports long-length eccentric hamstring training to boost hip ROM in active adults; extends evidence on length-specific flexibility gains.
