Abstract in brief

  • Eccentric knee flexor weakness and limb imbalance are linked to a higher risk of hamstring injuries (HSIs) in rugby union players.
  • Players with a history of HSIs or significant between-limb strength imbalance (15-20%) have a notably increased risk of future hamstring injuries.
  • The study suggests that addressing eccentric strength imbalances may help in preventing HSIs among rugby players.

@deLang23 @Aspetar @eirikwik Here are a few with BW relative or torque values that may be useful. Male soccer players: https://t.co/3OaxT6ftgM Male rugby players: https://t.co/ZSrAIUR2yB Male AFL: https://t.co/ounUBkegus And we have female soccer / AFLW normative data on the way!
