Eccentric hamstring training may reduce landing forces in female athletes; leaves open whether this alters injury risk in prospective trials.
Hamstring training involving eccentric loading is an important protective factor in hamstring injuries. However, the effect of this mode of training on lower extremity loading in landing maneuver performance is unknown. The purpose of this study was
