“…Finally, only one to date study has prospectively examined the relationship between running mechanics and subsequent hamstring injury. Schuermans et al 64 determined that subsequently injured soccer athletes displayed kinematic differences during high-speed running that were only observed during the swing phase. Subsequently injured athletes displayed greater anterior pelvic tilt during mid-swing and greater lateral flexion of the thorax during the late swing phase.…”

Hamstring injuries are highly prevalent in many running‐based sports, and predominantly affect the long head of biceps femoris. Re‐injury rates are also high and together lead to considerable time lost from sport. However, the mechanisms for hamstring injury during high‐speed running are still not fully understood. Therefore, the aim of this review was to summarize the current literature describing hamstring musculotendon mechanics and electromyography activity during high‐speed running, and how they may relate to injury risk. The large eccentric contraction, characterized by peak musculotendon strain and negative work during late swing phase is widely suggested to be potentially injurious. However, it is also argued that high hamstring loads resulting from large joint torques and ground reaction forces during early stance may cause injury. While direct evidence is still lacking, the majority of the literature suggests that the most likely timing of injury is the late swing phase. Future research should aim to prospectively examine the relationship between hamstring musculotendon dynamics and hamstring injury.

“…Schuermans et al (2017a) recently linked reduced contribution of the oblique abdominals during sprinting to increased HSI risk. In a separate investigation, Schuermans et al (2017b) reported how a greater amplitude of anterior pelvic tilt (relative hip flexion) and increased trunk lateral flexion during sprinting are also predictors of HSI occurrence. Both studies suggest greater eccentric challenge may well be placed upon the BFlh as a consequence of trunk related synergistic and kinematic factors and that these precede, as opposed to only follow, injury occurrence.…”

“…While much focus has been placed upon eccentric force enhancement, the gluteus maximus' large contribution to the concentric hip extension force during the acceleration phase of sprinting (Belli et al, 2002;Morin et al, 2015), may be associated to the elevated HSI risk associated with a lack of concentric hip extensor force (Sugiura et al, 2008). This kinetic marker of risk may also be reflected within kinematic measures; the hip extensors mediate sagittal plane trunk alignment during running (Mann et al, 1986;Kyr€ ol€ ainen et al, 2005;Lieberman et al, 2006) and increased amplitude of closed chain hip flexion (anterior pelvic tilt) during sprinting elevates risk of HSI (Schuermans et al, 2017b). An inability for the hip extensor synergists to limit closed chain hip flexion places additional eccentric demand upon these tissues, including the BFlh (Chumanov et al, 2007).…”

Can we spread the risk? A demand-share perspective to sustained hamstring health the model presents a capacity and demand-share perspective (Bouillard et al., 2014; Erdemir et al., 2007) to the ongoing problem of HSI. The model is sensitive to the multifactorial nature of HSI (Thorborg, 2014) and acknowledges that successful risk mitigation strategies must elicit change in numerous physiological, biomechanical, and neurophysiological qualities, which support diversity Contents lists available at ScienceDirect

“…The substantial nature of these particular types may be as a result of the healing process involved with ligaments in comparison to other anatomical structures, as well as recommendations regarding a secondary, delayed assessment of ligament injuries . Field hockey athletes perform a high number of accelerations and decelerations during competition, placing significant load through muscle groups such as the hamstrings and muscles of the hip . While many substantial muscle strains occurred during the study period, a relatively high proportion was transient.…”

Injury definitions encompass all physical complaints, medical attention, and time loss. Expressing injury burden in terms of short‐ and long‐term impact on athlete performance may be meaningful for coaches in terms of preparation. Therefore, our aim was to describe transient (symptoms <7 days) and substantial (symptoms ≥7 days) injuries suffered in field hockey throughout the Irish Hockey League (IHL). Following ethical approval, participants were assigned unique accounts to record injuries through a monitoring software. An all physical complaints definition was adopted. Team physiotherapists were contacted weekly to further capture and corroborate details on injuries. Transient and substantial injury classifications were applied. A total of 173 injuries in 14 690 exposure hours (11.8/1000 h) occurred. Incidence of medical attention (n = 119) and time‐loss (n = 70) injuries was 8.1/1000 h and 4.8/1000 h. Teams suffered transient injuries every 2.3 weeks (median = 2, IQR = 4) at a rate of 6.3/1000 h and substantial injuries every 2.5 weeks (median = 1.5, IQR = 3.25) at a rate of 5.5/1000 h. The lower back and knee were common transient injuries (7.5%), with the hamstring a common substantial injury (11.6%). Although many field hockey injuries are substantial, transient injuries are equally as frequent. These additional means of classifying injuries inform teams of the injuries that will cause disruption within their squad.
