Hypothesis-generating for eccentric training in hamstring prevention; prospective RCTs needed before routine adoption.
Do preventative strategies and targeted exercise programmes reduce the occurrence of hamstring injuries in sports participants?
A strategised exercise program based on identified risk factors may reduce the risk of hamstring injuries in sports, though optimal protocols remain to be determined.
Ross A Clarke (2008) conducted a review in Hamstring injuries. Hamstring injury prevention strategies was evaluated. A strategized exercise program incorporating eccentric training, such as the Nordic hamstring exercise, may reduce the risk of hamstring injuries by addressing modifiable risk factors.
