Nagahara, et. al. (2017) conducted a well designed study to clarify the mechanical determinants of sprinting performance during the acceleration and maximal speed phases of a single sprint, using ground reaction forces (GRFs). While 18 male athletes performed a 60-m sprint, GRF was me

Abstract: Since sprinting involves very fast movement velocities (up to 12 m/s in the best athletes), experimental studies in this field have always been a technical challenge. While sprint kinematics and distance-time or velocity-time variables were first described by the end of the

Hamstring Flexibility and Peak Hamstring Muscle Strain in Sprinting, Blog by NASEinc

Abstract and Background: The effect of hamstring flexibility on the peak hamstring muscle strains in sprinting, until now, remained unknown, which limited our understanding of risk factors of hamstring muscle strain injury (hamstring injury). As a continuation of our previous study, t
