Abstract
Why Nordic Hamstring?
-
Hamstrings are the most commonly injured muscle in sprinting and
kicking sports (soccer, football and rugby).
-
Recurrent hamstring injuries lead to longer time loss than the original injury.
-
Despite the presence of preventa- tive programs, research has not yet documented an effective, low-cost, widely accessible test to determine hamstring injury risk.
